Answer to Question 1

Impairment is any temporary or permanent loss or abnormality of a body structure or function, whether physiological or psychological.
Disability is a restriction or inability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being, mostly resulting from impairment.
Handicap is the result of an impairment or a disability that limits or prevents the fulfillment of one or several roles that are regarded as normal (depending on age, gender, social, and cultural factors) for that individual.

Answer to Question 2

False. (Pediatric patients often are considered to be habilitation patients rather than rehabilitation patients.)
