There are five major health factors that would prohibit a child from being permitted or would require leaving. How many factors are listed?

• A. Three Major Factors
• B. Five Major Factors
• C. Seven Major Factors
• D. Nine Major Factors

Answer: (B)

This question is about recognizing how many major health factors are listed for excluding or removing a child from care. The statement itself says there are five major health factors, so the number being tested is five. In practice, programs use a defined set of health conditions that require exclusion to protect other children and staff, such as fever, vomiting or diarrhea, a contagious illness, a significant rash or skin infection, or symptoms needing medical evaluation. The point is to rely on a clear, fixed count, and here that fixed count is five, not three, seven, or nine.
