Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The child is demonstrating signs of bronchial obstruction. After aspirating a small foreign body, the child generally coughs violently and may become short of breath. Localized wheezing may occur. Because this is localized, it is different from the generalized wheezing of a child with asthma. Hard tack candy is usually larger in size than a peanut. Localized wheezing is not a manifestation of allergies. Solitary play may or may not be important. It depends on the size of the toys that the child has for play and if any could be accidentally aspirated.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
This child has a slow-to-warm-up temperament. The child may also be crying before going to school. Making friends the first day of school and enjoying the crowds in the lunchroom are typical of a child with an easy temperament. Irritability is typical of a child with a difficult temperament.
