Pediatric health care occurs along a continuum that reflects not only the settings of care, but also:
1. The recommendations of health care providers.
2. The home setting.
3. The complexity and range of care needed by individual children and their families.
4. Prenatal care.

Rationale:
1. The continuum of pediatric health care does not include the recommendations of health care providers.
2. The home setting is not included in the pediatric health care continuum.
3. Pediatric health care occurs along a continuum that reflects not only the various settings of care but also the complexity and range of care needed by individual children and their families. For example, all children need health promotion and maintenance services; some will also need care for chronic conditions, acute illnesses, and injuries.
4. Prenatal care is not considered part of the continuum of health care, since the main focus is on the health of the mother.
