Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Separation anxiety disorder becomes apparent when the child is separated from the attachment figure. Often, the first time separation occurs is when the child goes to kindergarten or nursery school. Separation anxiety may be based on the child's fear that something will happen to the attachment figure. The child needs professional help.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The patient's perceptions that all the other kids are from two-parent households and that he or she is different are not based in reality. Assisting the patient to test the accuracy of the perceptions is helpful.
