Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect: Working hard to get along well with other children are not indicators suggesting psychological abuse.
B Incorrect: High self-esteem and good academic performance are not indicators suggesting psychological abuse. Instead, low self-esteem and poor academic performance are indicators of psychological abuse.
C Incorrect: A close peer group since preschool is not an indicator suggesting psychological abuse. Rather, a child who has been psychologically abused lacks friends or a peer group.
D Correct: Self-defeating and self-mutilating behaviors in a child are indicators suggesting psychological abuse.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. As a place of healing, the environment of the pediatric unit should be conducive to feelings of safety and security.
B Incorrect. The latest technology and up-to-date care are not as important as an environment conducive to feelings of safety and security.
C Incorrect. The environment of the pediatric unit needs to reflect a warm working relationship among the staff, but this is at best secondary, as it contributes to an environment conducive to feelings of safety and security.
D Incorrect. The environment of the pediatric unit may need to be aesthetically pleasing to children and families, but most important is an environment conducive to feelings of safety and security.
