Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Children under 1 year of age are most frequently injured by occluded airways. Burns, poisoning, and falls are risks for all age groups and are more likely to happen with children over age 1.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The degree of impairment to the child's ability to develop is a concern of the community health nurse. Financial resources need to be assessed and adaptations may need to be made to avoid expensive equipment. The frequency of other treatments and therapies should be considered in addition to recreational activities. A special needs camp placement may not be an appropriate suggestion for every child with chronic health problems.
