Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale: The most appropriate response would be to acknowledge the child's feelings and give him something to look forward to (picking out a sticker). Waiting for the mother to come back would be inappropriate because toddlers do not have an understanding of time.Giving elaborate descriptions and using colorful language are inappropriate. The instructions should not end with a are you readystatement because the toddler will say no. You also don't want to frighten and/or confuse the child by using statements such as use of a magic sword.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Slow-to-warm-upchildren adapt slowly to new situations and initially will withdraw.Showing regularity in patterns of eating is a characteristic of an easychild,and displaying a predominately negative mood and commonly having intense reactions to the environment are characteristics of difficult children.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
