Answer to Question 1

C
All are important topics to discuss with this age, but children of this age are very active, and injuries are common. Motor vehicle accidents are a common cause of injury. They are just starting puberty, so sexual activity is still not usual. The discussion of appropriate food choices and getting enough sleep should be conducted periodically throughout the child's developmental stages; it is not peculiar to ages 10 to 12 years. The preteen years are particularly important for adequate sleep and rest primarily because of the physical changes, active social lives, and increasingly complex demands on their lives.

Answer to Question 2

B
Situational Low Self-Esteem occurs when a person exhibits self-disapproval and negative self-evaluations as a specific reaction to loss or change (in this case, of a job and a marriage). There are no data to indicate long-standing (chronic) Low Self-Esteem. This client has no defining characteristics for Disturbed Personal Identity, which is an inability to determine boundaries between self and others, nor of Disturbed Body Image. He does mention his appearance but does not focus on it in particular; it is only part of his overall dissatisfaction with himself.
