Answer to Question 1

D
The patient has a severe and persistent fear of entering tall buildings. The extreme physical and emotional reactions are consistent with panic-level anxiety. The scenario does not suggest any of the other options as diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

A
An individual with gender identity disorder feels trapped in the body of the wrong gender and at odds with the roles associated with that gender. A child with this diagnosis is likely to engage in play associated with the opposite gender. The other options are not age appropriate or characteristically seen in children with gender identity disorder.
