Answer to Question 1

D
Distraction techniques, such as whistling or telling the hallucination to go away, will be helpful in controlling the hallucinations. Actively listening to his concerns and establishing a trusting relationship are interventions that will help in improving communication skills, and encouraging appropriate behaviors will help the client build social skills.

Answer to Question 2

C
A somatoform disorder is one in which the child (or adult) has the signs or symptoms of illness without a traceable physical cause. Somatic symptoms are common in school-age children. They are thought to be expressions of stress, anxiety, or underlying conflict. It is important to remember that children with somatoform disorders need understanding and reassurance rather than punishment or concessions. The child should not be ignored.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
