Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Lithium carbonate is used as a mood stabilizer in bipolar disorder and in the treatment of behavioral problems. Bupropion is among the antidepressants appropriate for use in children and adolescents. Methylphenidate is used in the treatment of ADHD. Chlorpromazine is an antipsychotic medication.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Puppet play is a therapeutic modality with more specific goals. This may be a secondary therapeutic effect. There are no data to suggest that time is of importance. Puppet play is focused on helping the child find a way to solve the problem with the bullies at school. Working this out through the puppets will assist with doing it at school. Finding ways of solving the problem with the bullies is a therapeutic effect; however, being aggressive will not solve the problem.
