Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Studies suggest that an obsession with violence in video games, movies, music, and writings increases aggressiveness in children and adolescents. The other options are relevant only after the risk for violence has been established.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The parent describes simple motor tics that are involuntary behaviors and characteristic of Tourette's disorder. The child is not being defiant because he has no control of the tics. Alt-hough the child displays repeated motor behaviors, they are unrelated to hyperactivity be-cause they are not generalized and occur only sporadically. These involuntary tics are not seen in pervasive developmental disorders such as autism.
