Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Narcissistic behaviors are observed in the infant under one year of age.
B Correct. Freud suggested methods caregivers use to toilet train children during this period may have long-lasting effects on personality. For example, children who were products of rigid, severe toilet training could become obsessive about routines and their schedules, or very meticulous and hypercritical.
C Incorrect. Self-mutilating behavior has nothing to do with the anal stage.
D Incorrect. Bullying and aggressive behaviors have nothing to do with the anal stage.

Answer to Question 2

C
Lanugo is seen in preterm infants. Vernix caseosa is seen among term infants. Dry, peeling, cracked skin is seen with postterm infants. The skin around the thighs and buttocks will be loose.
