Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. The phase of separation anxiety that is seen in a 9-month-old is normal development.
2. The separation anxiety that is seen in a toddler follows separation from a familiar caregiver, lasts only for a short time, and is a normal developmental response at this age.
3. The peak age for occurrence of separation anxiety disorder is not 57 years.
4. The peak age for occurrence of separation anxiety disorder is 79 years.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Coprolalia, which is the involuntary utterance of obscenities, profanities, and/or racial slurs, is seen in children with Tourette's syndrome.
2. An episode of trauma is a precursor to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), not PANDAS.
3. Group A hemolytic strep is associated with pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder (PANDAS).
4. Group B hemolytic strep is not associated with PANDAS.
