Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because children on the autism spectrum have difficulties in communication, a hearing test is in order to rule out any physiological cause contributing to this manifestation. Continued monitoring is always appropriate, but that is not the best option. Parents usually do have concerns that are valid regarding their child. Referrals to school-based or early intervention programs should not wait for a definitive diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
There are many barriers to adequate health care for psychosocial or cognitive conditions in children. The belief that childhood is a time free of stress and problems leads to denial that children can indeed have psychosocial or cognitive conditions. Family shame and the stigma of psychosocial or cognitive conditions are both barriers. Health-care providers often minimize parents' concerns about psychosocial or cognitive conditions. Even people who have a high level of health literacy tend to have low levels of literacy related to psychosocial or cognitive conditions.
