Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2, 3, 4
Explanation: Monitoring conducted before and throughout medication therapy with children and adolescents includes the following: physical assessment; lab panels, such as a complete blood count; a baseline electrocardiogram for drugs that may cause cardiac changes. Risperidone has not been associated with significant cognitive problems, or pulmonary function decreases in children or adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Early attachment relationships appear to help shape early mental health in children and adolescents and parenting skills can help parents provide a healthy psychological foundation to foster self-confidence and calm to minimize fears and rejection. Mindfulness education teaches stress reduction. Brief solution-focused therapy is therapy directed at achieving a specific goal. Cognitive-behavioral therapy addresses dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
