Answer to Question 1

B
Active imagination is a primary characteristic of preschoolers. A toddler's primary response to hospitalization is separation anxiety. School-age children experience stress with loss of control. Adolescents experience stress from separation from their peers.

Answer to Question 2

B
Separation anxiety is at its peak during the infant and toddler ages. Newborns feel little separation anxiety as long as their comfort needs are met. Preschoolers are most fearful of injury and pain. Loss of control is the primary stressor for school-age children.
