Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Research shows that children feel that health-care providers don't really listen to them. It is important to advocate for the child and to develop a therapeutic relationship characterized by a caring attitude. The nurse should encourage the child to discuss her asthma and modify interventions accordingly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The biggest determinant of access to and quality of health care is one's insurance status. The other actions might help improve access too, but would not be as effective as lobbying for improved ability for all individuals to get insurance.
