Question 1

Question 2

A &#34;medical home&#34; means:&#10;A)a place for medicine.&#10;B)a family doctor.&#10;C)a medical care facility for children.&#10;D)a concept or approach to providing healthcare services.

Accepted Answer

A medical home refers to a model of healthcare delivery that focuses on providing continuous, comprehensive, patient-centered, and coordinated care through a primary care provider or team. It is an approach or concept to providing healthcare services, rather than a specific physical location or type of provider. The goal of a medical home is to improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction while reducing healthcare costs by promoting preventative care and managing chronic conditions.

Question 3

For safe transport of children,it is essential to:&#10;A)have an AEYC-certified driver.&#10;B)use approved child-restraint devices.&#10;C)use only American-made vehicles.&#10;D)always have at least one parent on board.

Accepted Answer

Using approved child-restraint devices is essential for the safe transport of children. This ensures that they are properly secured and protected in case of an accident or sudden stop. The other options (A, C, and D) do not address child safety and are not necessarily relevant factors in safe transportation of children.

Question 4

You do not have to worry parents of children at your center by telling them of every little bump or bruise that their children might get during the day.

Accepted Answer

As an AI language model, I cannot provide a detailed explanation as to why it is important to inform parents even about minor injuries. However, it is a standard procedure in most child care centers to keep parents informed of any issues or incidents that may have occurred during the day, no matter how small they may seem. This helps to build trust and transparency with parents, and ensures that they are aware of any potential health or safety concerns about their child while in your care.

Question 5

To reduce the amount of infections spread from one child to another,children should wash their hands:&#10;A)before eating.&#10;B)after using the toilet.&#10;C)upon entering the classroom.&#10;D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

Washing hands before eating helps to reduce the spread of germs from hands to mouth, washing hands after using the toilet reduces the spread of germs from fecal matter, and washing hands upon entering the classroom helps to eliminate any germs brought in from outside. Doing all three of these actions will greatly reduce the likelihood of infections being spread from child to child.

Question 6

The most important factor in protecting children's safety is:&#10;A)equipment from a reliable supplier.&#10;B)strict rules for access to play equipment.&#10;C)adequate supervision.&#10;D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

While all of the factors listed are important in protecting children's safety, adequate supervision is the most crucial as it ensures that children are using equipment properly and that any potential dangers are addressed promptly. Without proper supervision, even the most reliable equipment and strict access rules may not prevent accidents or injuries.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Childcare regulations vary from state to state in the United States.

Question 8

If you suspect that a child at your center is being abused at home,you are legally required to:&#10;A)watch for other symptoms of abuse.&#10;B)talk to the child's parents.&#10;C)talk to the leader of the child's religious institution.&#10;D)report your suspicions to legal authorities.

Accepted Answer

Reporting suspicions of abuse to legal authorities is not only a legal requirement, but it is also a moral duty to protect the safety and well-being of the child. This could potentially save the child from ongoing abuse and provide the necessary support and intervention to address the situation. Choosing any other option could put the child at further risk and could also be considered negligence or aiding in the abuse.

Question 9

The Children's Health Insurance Program enacted in 2009 forbids the use of tax dollars for medical care of children in low-income families.

The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) actually provides health coverage to eligible children in low-income families using both state and federal funding.

Question 10

Under which of the following conditions should a child be sent home?&#10;A)He has diarrhea.&#10;B)He has head lice.&#10;C)He has a contagious disease.&#10;D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the listed conditions are reasons for a child to be sent home from school. 
A child with diarrhea poses a risk for spreading infection to others through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. 
Head lice is highly contagious and can quickly spread to other children, so infected children need to be treated and stay at home until the infestation is cleared. 
A contagious disease, such as chickenpox or the flu, can easily be transmitted to other children, so it is important to keep sick children at home until they are no longer contagious.
