Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
The warning signs that may indicate the need for professional help include inability to sleep, extended regression, loss of interest in daily activities, and withdrawal from friends. Interest in usual activities is a sign of coping; intermittent expressions of sadness and anger are to be expected, even over a long period of time, so they would not indicate a need for professional help.

Answer to Question 2

C
All interventions are correct, but because of the many blood vessels close to the skin surface in the head, infants lose approximately one-third of their body heat through the head. Therefore, to prevent heat loss, it is most important to cover the head.
