Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Another third-party approach used with older children and adolescents is to attribute feelings or thoughts to other children.

C Incorrect. Using behavior modification, especially rewarding the children with candy is out of place in teaching about diabetes.
D Incorrect. Having a contest will not probably have the greatest success in getting the children to talk about feelings and to comply with wearing a MedicAlert bracelet and carrying hard candy.
