Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The goal is improvement in the child's hyperactivity, distractibility, and play. The remaining options are more relevant for a child with a pervasive developmental or anxiety disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The use of play to express feelings is appropriate; the cognitive and language abilities of the child may require the acting out of feelings if verbal expression is limited. The remaining options provide no outlet for feelings or opportunity to develop coping skills.
