• A. Motor control/motor learning
• B. Rehabilitation
• C. Biomechanical

Rationale: The correct frame of reference that emphasizes techniques to teach children movement resembling coaching is Motor control/motor learning. This approach focuses on improving movement skills through techniques that are similar to coaching methods. It helps children develop and refine their motor skills in a structured and goal-oriented manner. Rehabilitation, Biomechanical, and Ayres' sensory integration have different emphases and objectives in therapy, making them incorrect choices for this question.

3. The healthcare provider is preparing medication instructions for a child who has undergone a kidney transplant and is prescribed cyclosporine.

• A. Suppress rejection
• B. Decrease pain
• C. Improve circulation
• D. Boost immunity

Correct answer: A

4. When educating a patient about sildenafil (Viagra), which adverse effect should be a priority for the patient to report to his prescriber?

• A. Flushing
• B. Diarrhea
• C. Hearing loss
• D. Dyspepsia

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hearing loss.' In rare cases, Viagra has been associated with sudden hearing loss, typically in one ear, which can be partial or complete. Any onset of hearing problems while using Viagra should be reported promptly to the prescriber. It is recommended to discontinue the medication if it is used for erectile dysfunction. 'Flushing,' 'Diarrhea,' and 'Dyspepsia' are known adverse effects of Viagra but are generally less serious compared to hearing loss.

5. Which factor will not promote play and playfulness in children?

• A. Novel toys
• B. Familiar peers
• C. Comfortable atmosphere
• D. Directive adults

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Directive adults can inhibit spontaneous play and creativity, which are essential for fostering playfulness in children. When adults are too directive, children may feel constrained and less likely to engage in imaginative and free play. Encouraging independence and allowing children to explore and create their play scenarios can enhance playfulness and creativity.
