Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 5
Rationale:
1. Agoraphobia, which is a fear of being in places or situations from which escape might be difficult or embarrassing, is seen in children with a panic disorder, not with depression.
2. Poor self-care can be associated with depression in an adolescent.
3. Focus on violence can be associated with depression in the adolescent.
4. Somatic complaints are more commonly associated with depression in the younger school-age child.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. The 18-month-old is not expected to be able to use two-word phases.
2. The 24-month-old should be able to use two-word phrases.
3. A child should be able to use two-word phrases by 24 months. 30 months is outside of expected normal development.
4. A child should be able to use two-word phrases by 24 months. 36 months is outside of expected normal development.
