Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Puberty is the period when a person becomes able to reproduce sexually. Adolescence is the developmental period between puberty and maturity. It spans the ages between 11 and 20 years, after which a person enters early adulthood. Rapid growth spurt marks adolescence, by the end of which individuals achieve adult height. Although tremendous physical growth occurs, emotional needs predominate during this period; adolescents spend much of their time searching for meaning in life and for a sense of identity.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Like infants, toddlers may display signs of anxiety when confronted with strangers, such as a nurse. On separation from loved ones, children may cry, scream, lash out physically at others, and call for the missed person. Because this is normal toddler behavior, further assessment or the child being removed from the parents is not appropriate. The child is not exhibiting signs of development regression to an earlier age group with this behavior.
