   4. Dante is worried he will get sick in the classroom.

Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. The stomachache is a somatic response because of fear of not being successful on an exam.
2. Rest is not needed for the child. Speaking about the issue would help to decrease the child's school phobia.
3. The stomachache is a somatic response, and going home will teach the child that it is acceptable to avoid exams.
4. The child is nervous and is avoiding the exam. He is not actually physically ill.
