Answer to Question 1

B
If separation anxiety (a child's fear of being apart from his parents) lasts longer than a few weeks, it is likely that there is a problem, and treatment should be sought. High levels of anxiety in children sometimes result in obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Many people from Central American cultures express distress in somatic terms. The other options are not specific to this patient's cultural background and are not more likely to be observed in persons from Central America.
