Answer to Question 1

C
It is important for a mother to seek time alone with her toddler to reassure him that he is loved.
It is normal for a child to regress when a new sibling is introduced into the home.
The toddler may have feelings of jealousy and resentment towards the new baby taking at-tention away from him. Frequent reassurance of parental love and affection are important.
Changes in sleeping arrangements should be made several weeks before the birth so the child does not feel displaced by the new baby.

Answer to Question 2

B
Because of the economic uncertainty, lower socioeconomic groups place more emphasis on meeting the needs of the present rather than on future goals.
Lower socioeconomic groups usually do not have group health insurance.
They may value health care but cannot afford preventive health care.
They may struggle for basic needs and often do not see a way to improve their situation. It is difficult to maintain optimism.
