Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Preschoolers are most likely to be affected by feelings of guilt that they caused the illness or disability or are being punished for wrongdoings. Toddlers are focused on establishing their autonomy. The illness fosters dependency. School-age children have limited opportunities for achievement and may not be able to understand limitations. Adolescents face the task of incorporating their disabilities into their changing self-concept.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Toddlers are acquiring a sense of autonomy, developing self-control, and forming symbolic representation through language acquisition. Mobility is the primary tool used by toddlers to experiment with maintaining control. Loss of mobility can create a sense of helplessness. Toddlers do not socialize. They are sensitive to changes in family routines. A sense of guilt is more likely to occur in a preschooler. Toilet training is not usually mastered until the end of the toddler period.
