Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Physiologic characteristics of children with depression include changes in appetite resulting in weight loss or gain, nonspecific complaints of not feeling well, alterations in sleeping patterns, insomnia or hypersomnia, and constipation. Children who are depressed have sad facial expressions with absent or diminished range of affective response. These children withdraw from previously enjoyed activities and engage in solitary play or work with a lack of interest in play. They are uninterested in doing homework or achieving in school, resulting in lower grades.
