Answer to Question 1

A
Since the stressors affecting the child may be exacerbated by the school environment (e.g., separation and performance anxiety), the support of the child's teacher is vital to identifying and managing the child's anxiety disorder. Parental anxiety disorders, depression, or both have been identified as family factors in children's anxiety disorders, but this would be in the history, not in the plan. Residential treatment would not be the first option in a plan, and individual relaxation may or may not be part of treatment.

Answer to Question 2

D
