Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Examples of emotional abuse include having an adult demean a child's worth or frequently criticize or belittle a child. No data support physical battering or endangerment, sexual abuse, or economic abuse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although each of the individuals mentioned experiences job-related stress on a daily basis, the person most in need of critical incident stress debriefing is the EMT, who experienced an adventitious crisis event by responding to a bombing and provided care to victims of trauma.
