Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The physical findings related to shaken baby syndrome include bruising from being grabbed firmly and a major head injury such as a subdural hematoma. In Munchausen's syndrome by proxy, a parent fabricates an illness in his or her child in order to assume the sick person's role by proxy. Neglect is an act of omission and refers to a parent's or other person's failure to meet a dependent's basic needs. Sexual abuse is also known as sexual assault.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The following factors have been identified as being causative in relationship to domestic violence:
 Individuals with neurologic impairments, agitated depression, or antisocial or borderline behavior, or who abuse drugs and alcohol, are often unable to control impulsive behavior owing to increased frustration or anxiety.
 Lack of nurturing and mothering during childhood results in the inability to nurture others as an adult.
 Poor socioeconomic conditions resulting in increased stress, anxiety, or frustration may precipitate domestic violence within the family.
 Poor communication skills may result in the use of verbal or physical abuse.
 Specific behaviors learned during various developmental stages become part of a person's interactions with spouse and family.
