Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Infants who have G6PD deficiency are at risk for developing anemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and kernicterus.

Answer to Question 2

B
The understanding of the permanence of death does not occur until a child is about 10 years old. The preschool-age child would not normally express feelings of anger or initiate violent acts. They do not have the level of cognition that would cause them to fear death. Also, because the major drives in the preschooler are socialization and imagination, one would not expect a child of this age to ask questions about how death happens.
