Additional instructions:  Be specific with answers.  The intent of these questions is to have you apply the concepts learned in these chapters.  Roles/functions need to be described and explained specifically to the setting; Intervention needs to be described in detail. Example: “educating” is too generic – if you determine educating is appropriate then also address the who, what, how, when, and where. While you may use your textbook and internet resources for information and investigation of the questions presented, your analysis and personal presentation will be considered when grading the responses.  Verbatim or “quoting” the textbook is not considered an appropriate response.
