Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A 6-year-old child who has a fracture of the tibia and fibula, which reportedly occurred while riding a bicycle: This injury is consistent with a common childhood accident and does not strongly suggest abuse. A 9-month-old infant who sustained near drowning when he reportedly climbed into the tub and turned on the water: This explanation is implausible for a 9-month-old, as infants lack the motor skills and strength to climb into a tub and turn on water, raising suspicion of abuse or neglect. A 3-year-old toddler with scalding burns over the face and chest reportedly sustained when the child pulled on tablecloth, spilling a cup of tea on himself: This is a plausible accident for a curious toddler and does not immediately suggest abuse. A 14-month-old toddler who is reportedly learning to walk and has several bruises on bony prominences of the lower legs and elbows: Bruises in these areas are typical for a toddler learning to walk and do not strongly indicate abuse.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Expressing anger openly and directly usually leads to arguments: Open and direct expression of anger does not necessarily lead to arguments. When communicated assertively and respectfully, it can lead to constructive problem-solving and understanding. Angry feelings are a negative response to a situation: Anger itself is not inherently negative. It is a normal human emotion. How anger is expressed determines whether it has positive or negative consequences. Anger results from being frustrated, hurt, or afraid: Anger is a natural emotional response that often arises when an individual experiences frustration, hurt, or fear. Understanding the root cause of anger is essential for addressing and managing it effectively. Suppressing anger is a sign of maturity: Suppressing anger can lead to unresolved emotions and physical or psychological stress. Maturity involves expressing anger in a healthy and constructive manner, not suppressing it.

Increasing sense of attachment to others: Clients with PTSD often experience emotional detachment and difficulty maintaining close relationships.

Rationale: Histrionic trauma: This term is not used in trauma classification. Chronic trauma: Chronic trauma refers to repeated and prolonged exposure to traumatic events, such as ongoing abuse or neglect over a long period. Vicarious trauma: This occurs when someone experiences trauma indirectly, such as through exposure to another person's trauma. Acute trauma: Acute trauma results from a single, isolated event rather than repeated occurrences.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: 'A family member took me fishing several times when I was a kid.': This statement indicates positive childhood experiences, not factors contributing to aggression. 'My parent was physically abused as a child.': While a family history of abuse is relevant, direct experiences of abuse are more strongly linked to aggressive behavior. 'My parent used their fists to hit me as a child.' Experiencing physical abuse as a child is a significant risk factor for developing aggressive behavior as an adult. 'I drink a glass of wine occasionally with dinner.': Moderate alcohol consumption does not typically contribute to aggression.
