Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
To develop trust, consistent caretakers and parents rooming in should be encouraged. To develop a sense of separateness from parents, periodic respites from caregiving should be encouraged. All members of the family, not one primary caretaker, should be encouraged to participate in care. Age-appropriate developmental tasks should be encouraged, not withheld until an older age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Approach coping behaviors include planning realistically for the future, verbalizing possible loss of a child, and realistically perceiving the child's behavior. Using magical thinking and fantasy is an avoidance behavior. The family should share the burden of the disorder with others as an approach behavior.
