Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The correct answer provides the four core symptoms associated with this disorder. Although talking excessively is an associated behavior, the other choices are not accurate. Although impulsivity and being excessively active are core symptoms, the other choices are not accurate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The child's wanting to remain home from school may be an example of parents' explanations for some behaviors. The data in the question indicate an ongoing and progressive problem. Some aspects of the school experience are feared by the child. Separation anxiety is thought to play a role in this disorder. The data neither indicate ADHD nor suggest childhood developmental disorder.
