Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
To care for themselves, nurses need to recognize and discuss their job-related stressors. They should acknowledge and deal with issues that remind them of their own childhood and adolescence. Equally important, they need to attend to their own physical and mental health. Proper nutrition, rest and sleep, exercise, health care, maturity, and balance in personal and professional lives maximize the energy available to work therapeutically with youth and their families. It would be unethical to minimize contact with certain clients.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Children with autism develop language slowly or not at all. They may use words without attaching meaning to them or communicate with only gestures or noises. They spend time alone and show little interest in making friends. Approximately 80 of people with autism also are classified as mentally retarded. Their most distinctive feature, however, is their seeming isolation from the world around them. This detachment and aloofness help distinguish people with autism from those who are solely mentally retarded.
