Answer to Question 1

C
Head and chest measurements are almost equal at 1 year of age. Head circumference is larger than chest circumference until approximately 1 year of age. By 3 years of age, the chest circumference exceeds the head circumference.

Answer to Question 2

D
Rebellious or aggressive behavior is a behavior that may indicate substance abuse. Feelings of worthlessness are suggestive of a depressive disorder. An adolescent with a substance abuse problem may be depressed, but this behavior is not a manifestation of substance abuse. The clinical manifestations of substance abuse are marked by an increase in antisocial behavior as the desire for social conformity decreases and the need for the substance increases. The adolescent with a substance abuse problem may demonstrate an excessive dependence on peer influence.
