Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Vulnerability is defined as those characteristics that may predispose the child to a disorder. Vulnerability is affected by a number of risk factors, including environment, genetics, temperament, and timing of the exposure to the threat to mental health. Immunity is not recognized as a risk factor that affects a child's vulnerability to cognitive or psychosocial disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The major factors determining what substances are abused most are availability and cost. Alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs are found in most homes, making them readily available and cheap. Substance abuse may depend somewhat on what peers are using and the age of the user, but bigger factors are cost and availability.
