Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
Long-acting methylphenidate is administered once daily in the morning, whereas the other forms are given three times a day. The drug typically causes difficulty sleeping and decreased appetite.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
Play therapy is designed to change emotional status and encourages the child to act out feelings of sadness, fear, hostility, or anger. It is particularly beneficial for the younger child. Play therapy, rather than individual therapy, is recommended for the younger child. Hypnosis promotes deep relaxation, which is not the therapeutic goal for this child. Behavioral therapy is used to encourage appropriate behavior and would not address the girl's sadness.
