Answer to Question 1

D
One study on the use of touch by health care personnel found that clients in the age range of 66 to 100 years received the least amount of touch when compared with younger patients. Clients in geriatric institutions may well place great importance and value on the smallest gesture of touch, as touch leads to a feeling of affinity and of belonging to community.

Answer to Question 2

D
Children and adolescents with a diagnosis of conduct disorder are most likely to be noncompliant with school rules. They may be involved in truancy and bullying and show a disrespect for the rights of others. Some children with conduct disorder may become involved in vandalism with deliberate destruction of property, setting fires, and smashing windows. Their behavior can also include early substance abuse, prostitution, and even murder.
