Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An important factor in access to health care is insurance. Employer-provided plans are becoming more uncommon, and even those with insurance often have gaps in their coverage, which leads to missed appointments, unfilled prescriptions, and other services being underutilized. The other actions might be useful, although it probably will sound judgmental if the nurse merely tells the patient that she is responsible for her children's health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
All plans sound like they could be innovative strategies for dealing with school absenteeism. But because asthma is the most common reason for a child to miss school (and the primary reason for visits to pediatric emergency rooms), the nurse's best response is to develop a structured follow-up program for kids with asthma.
