Answer to Question 1

D
Because alternative therapies are not regulated by the FDA and are most often used instead of biomedical treatment, they can pose health hazards. Not all alternative therapies are natural biologic substances. The FDA does not regulate alternative therapies except herbal remedies, but these are regulated only as dietary supplements. Alternative therapies are used instead of biomedical therapies, so these have not been endorsed for use in the treatment of diseases.

Answer to Question 2

B
Anger or tantrums are some of the behaviors exhibited by older children in a stressful situation like a new baby in the house. Pinching or slapping the new baby are expressions of anger and attention-getting behaviors. The mother should not leave the child unattended near the newborn. The mother should also try to involve the son in the baby's care to reaffirm that the older child is an important part of the family.
