Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2, 3, 4
Explanation: Monitoring conducted before and throughout medication therapy with children and adolescents includes the following: physical assessment; lab panels, such as a complete blood count; a baseline electrocardiogram for drugs that may cause cardiac changes. Risperidone has not been associated with significant cognitive problems, or pulmonary function decreases in children or adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Early attachment relationships appear to help shape early mental health in children and adolescents and parenting skills can help parents provide a healthy psychological foundation to foster self-confidence and calm to minimize fears and rejection. Mindfulness education teaches stress reduction. Brief solution-focused therapy is therapy directed at achieving a specific goal. Cognitive-behavioral therapy addresses dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
