Answer to Question 1

1. Speech therapist
4. Social Services
5. Play therapist

Rationale:
The goals of therapy are to facilitate communication, reduce rigidity, and treat maladaptive behaviors. To reach these goals, the child will be treated by a speech therapist, a play therapist, and social services. Laboratory technicians do not treat clients. A public health agency does not treat clients, although individuals who work there might.

Answer to Question 2

1. Calls in sick for clinical because of a respiratory infection.

Rationale:
While calling in sick for a frivolous reason demonstrates a lack of commitment, calling in sick with a bona fide illness is protection of the clients who are already compromised. Attending a political rally may be important, but for the student attending class demonstrates the greater commitment. Studying for the NCLEX exam is also important, but not more important than learning clinical skills. The student who demonstrates commitment seeks out as many new learning experiences as possible.
