Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Merit badge systems such as the Boy Scouts are geared to the needs of school-age children, offering small but frequent rewards. This action strengthens the developmental task of industry. The Boy Scouts is not attractive because the lack of girls, participating in hiking, or strengthening relationships with fathers.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When an anomaly is identified at or after birth, parents need to be informed promptly and given a realistic appraisal of the severity of the condition, the prognosis, and treatment options so that they can participate in all decisions concerning their child. Removing the newborn from the area or telling them that the newborn needs to go to the nursery immediately is inappropriate and would only add to the parents' anxieties and fears. Telling them that nothing is wrong is inappropriate because it violates their right to know.
