Answer to Question 1

D
Child abuse and developmental disabilities are often associated. Stress and isolation may hinder parents from reaching their potential. Parents may feel isolated from support and healthcare services. They report that professionals have limited understanding of their children's needs. Although overindulgence and obesity may occur, the best answer is child abuse.

Answer to Question 2

B
Poor muscle coordination is a neurological soft sign. The plantar reflex is a normal response. When the lateral aspect of the sole of the foot is stroked in a movement curving medially from the heel to the ball, the response will be plantar flexion of the toes. Stereognostic function refers to the ability to identify familiar objects placed in each hand. Graphesthesia is the ability to identify letters or numbers traced on the palm or back of the hand with a blunt point.
