Answer to Question 1

ANS:
24
The term foster care is defined as 24-hour substitute care for children outside of their own homes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
A child 3 to 5 years of age (preschool) may display fears of abandonment, verbalize feelings that he or she is the reason for the divorce, and engage in fantasy to understand the divorce. They would not be displaying fear regarding the future until school age, and the ability to disengage from the divorce proceedings would be characteristic of an adolescent.
