Answer to Question 1

B
Because of their disruptive behaviors, children with attention deficithyperactivit y disorder (ADHD) often receive negative feedback from parents, teachers, and peers, leading to self-esteem disturbance. These same behaviors lead peers to avoid the child with ADHD, who seems reckless and impulsive, and can rarely finish games, leaving the child with ADHD vulnerable to loneliness. The other options might or might not be relevant but are not the priority. The child does not need inpatient treatment at this time.

Answer to Question 2

B
Flight of ideas is a continuous flow of speech marked by jumping from topic to topic. The other options are most likely to be assessed in patients with schizophrenia.
