Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Allowing young children to play with anatomically correct dolls is a common method for determining whether sexual maltreatment is occurring. The child who is involved in an incestuous relationship may make the dolls perform a sexual act, such as placing the male doll's penis into the female doll's mouth. The average reaction of a preschool-age child who has not been maltreated is to undress the dolls, giggle for a moment or two about how they look, and then redress or put them aside. Playing with the dolls so that they hold hands and hug does not indicate that the child has been sexually abused.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A successful outcome for the care of a child with failure to thrive syndrome would be that the child shows interest in bottle feedings and begins to gain weight. The child crying and having bruises over the legs could indicate physical abuse or another medical problem. The mother not visiting the child indicates ongoing psychological issues with the mother bonding with the child. The father bringing toys does not indicate that the care of the child has been successful. The father's bonding with the child cannot be determined by this action of bringing toys.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
