Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C
Common side effects of atomoxetine include headache, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, vomiting, somnolence, and nausea. Nervousness and dyskinesias are associated with methylphenidate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Managing the repetitive behaviors depends on the specific behavior and its effect on others and the environment. Because the rocking has no negative effects, ignoring it may be the best approach. If the behavior is unacceptable, redirecting the child and using positive reinforcement are recommended.
