Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Indifference or negativity surrounding the birth of a child has been identified as a potential precursor to child abuse. The other statements convey that the client is overwhelmed, which is not an unusual response to the birth of a child.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
A behavioral profile of an emotionally abused child includes stuttering, enuresis, overeating, disciplinary problems, and failure to thrive. The scenario does not refer to physical, financial, or sexual abuse.
