Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C

The best way to get the child of this age to cooperate is to let the child play with the equipment and perhaps use the equipment on a doll, and to have the child sit on the parent's lap. Tilting the head does not gain the child's cooperation. Most children of this age need to see for themselves that the procedure will not hurt. Simply telling the child will not work.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The tension phase of the cycle of violence occurs when communication fails and tension builds. The abusive phase occurs when there is a violent incident. The honeymoon phase occurs when the aggressor shows love and affection. The cycle of violence will continue unless intervention occurs, and there is no reason for Mrs. Snell to expect it will stop or anticipate reconciliation and healing.
