Answer to Question 1

A
Pica is an eating disorder that is most commonly seen in children with mental retardation, pervasive developmental disorders, such as autism, or severe vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Treatment is aimed at keeping the child away from the items consumed and/or replacing the consumed item with a healthy food product. Rumination disorder describes a disorder in infants in which regurgitation and rechewing of the food occur. Enuresis is bedwetting, and encopresis is repeated defecation in inappropriate places.

Answer to Question 2

A
Insomnia is a disorder of not falling asleep or sustaining sound sleep. Narcolepsy refers to a condition in which an individual repeatedly experiences periods of sleep, regardless of activity or the situation; hypersomnia refers to prolonged sleep episodes; and nocturnal myoclonus refers to an individual who moves limbs involuntarily during sleep and has symptoms or problems related to this movement.
