Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
If BPD remains unrecognized and unchecked in the child, future episodes of illness may occur independently of any stimulus, and they will occur with greater and greater frequency (Papolos and Papolos, 1999). Therefore, early identification of bipolar disorder in the child is urgent.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Family members of children with ADHD may experience disrupted routines and the strain of caretaking. The client may victimize siblings, who may feel unprotected because the parents are too emotionally overwhelmed to successfully deal with the situation.
