Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The nurse suspects that the child is exhibiting symptoms of dyslexia or a reading disability, which is considered a learning disorder. A communication disorder involves speech or language impairments. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder involves a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Asperger syndrome is characterized by severe and sustained impairment in social interaction and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, and activities in conjunction with age-appropriate language and intelligence.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Typically, boys and girls ages 6 to 9 years often touch genitals at home, stand too close to others, and try to look at persons when they are nude. by contrast, children age 10 to 12 years, who are actually more interested in (and know more about) sex, limit their behavior to looking at nudity in magazines, television, and on the Internet.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
