Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Rocking is hypothesized as being a form of self-stimulation. The child with autism will engage in constant body rocking. Because the child likes to perform body rocking before going to sleep and not constantly, it is more likely being used by the child as a form of self-stimulation. Rocking does not mean that the child is hungry. Rocking is not only seen in autism. The mother did not express concern that the child is banging the head on the crib while rocking so padding the crib might not be appropriate at this time.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Encopresis is the inappropriate passage of stool in places not culturally appropriate for that purpose. Parents should not punish the child for encopresis but rather to pay as little attention as possible to bowel accidents and to give praise for days when encopresis does not occur. The child does not need Kaopectate every day. The child does not need to be close to bathroom facilities at all times. The child does not experience diarrhea soiling after accidents would not be of a high priority for teaching.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
