Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct: Anxiety or depression, and absence seizures can be mistaken for ADHD as well as hearing problems and learning disabilities. Disruptive or unresponsive behavior, symptoms of ADHD, can be caused by anxiety or depression. Attention lapses caused by absence seizures can produce behaviors similar to ADHD.
B Incorrect: Personality disorders and anxiety disorders are not mistaken for ADHD. ADHD is frequently associated with anxiety disorders but not personality disorders.
C Incorrect: Low self-esteem and efforts to cover it up usually do not produce behaviors similar to ADHD. Low self-esteem can result from having ADHD related to a lack of peer relationships and positive feedback, and academic underachievement.
D Incorrect: Immaturity and or regression do not produce behaviors similar to ADHD.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect: ADHD is not viewed as a disorder that will be present until the child is in junior high school and then will disappear.
B Incorrect: ADHD is not viewed as a disorder that will be present until the high school years and then be resolved.
C Incorrect: ADHD is not viewed as a disorder that will be present through the high school years and then diminish.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
