Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tourette's syndrome is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder. Children with Tourette's syndrome are often teased or bullied, and the disorder can have a major impact on social functioning and relationships. A family psychosocial or cognitive condition screening and cooperative agreements with local laboratory facilities are not warranted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Identified risk factors for child maltreatment include: children with disabilities; children of very young parents; children of single mothers who live in poverty; parents who suffer from mental or chronic physical illness; parents who have rigid ideas of discipline, excessive stress, or marital conflict; parental substance abuse; and intergenerational history of abuse.
