ANS: D
An important goal for this family is understanding how to avoid exposing their child to second-hand smoke. The only objective assessment data to show that the child is not exposed to smoke is the decrease in asthma attacks the child has had in the last year. New clothing will not smell like smoke; if the mother continues to smoke even in lesser amounts, the child will still be exposed; and smoking anywhere in the house pollutes all the air in the house.
