Answer to Question 1

B
It is the health care professional's duty to warn or notify an intended victim after a threat of harm has been made. Informing a potential victim of a threat is a legal responsibility of the health care professional. It is not a violation of confidentiality.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because of their sense of time, preschoolers cannot understand a permanent loss such as death. The school-aged and adolescent children have an adult concept and understanding of loss and death.
