Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Failure to thrive, a condition of early infancy, has been linked to both nutritional and emotional deprivation. This list is not all inclusive. Use of day care centers by working mothers has not been noted as a factor contributing to failure to thrive, nor have premature births.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

The infant learns to rely on caregivers to meet basic needs of warmth, food, and comfort. This is how the infant learns to form trust in others. Mistrust is the result of inconsistent, inadequate, or unsafe care. The other choices are later stages of Erikson's developmental theory.
