Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Asthma is the single most prevalent cause of disability in children and has been largely responsible for much of the recent increase in childhood disability.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Home care requires the family to manage the child's illness, including providing daily hands-on care, monitoring the child's medical condition, and educating others to care for the child. The child's home environment with the child's family is perceived as the best place for the child to be cared for. If the family does not want to or is not able to assume these responsibilities, other arrangements need to be investigated. The family is an essential part of the decision-making process. Without family involvement and support, the technology-dependent child will not be well cared for at home.
