Answer to Question 1

Muchas Gracias :)

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
When children with autism spectrum disorder are hospitalized, a consistent, structured environment with predictable routines for activities, mealtimes, and bedtimes (termed milieu management) is necessary for successful treatment. Changes in routine, including numerous caregivers, stimulation, or time-out, may provoke disorganization in the child, leading to emotional disequilibrium and explosive behavior. The safety of the inpatient unit offers an opportunity to try behavioral strategies, such as rewards for managing transitions. Time-out would be appropriate for aggressive or assaultive behavior.
