Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Avoidance coping behaviors include refusing to agree to treatment; avoiding staff, family members, or child; unable to discuss possible loss of the child; and making no change in lifestyle to meet the needs of other family members. Recognizing one's own growth through a passage of time is an approach behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
To encourage autonomy, choices should be given and independence encouraged in as many areas as possible. Sensory experiences should be encouraged to help the toddler to learn through sensorimotor experiences. Age-appropriate discipline and limit setting should be initiated. Negative and ritualistic behaviors are normal and should be allowed.
