Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Redirecting the expression of feelings into nondestructive age-appropriate behaviors such as a physical activity helps the child learn how to modulate the expression of feelings and exert self-control. This method is the least restrictive alternative of those listed and should be tried before resorting to more restrictive measures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The behaviors mentioned are most consistent with the DSM-IV-TR criteria for CD: aggression against people and animals; destruction of property; deceitfulness; rule violations; and impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning. The behaviors are not consistent with ADHD and separation anxiety and are more pervasive than defiance of authority.
