Answer: The medical assistant should identify that the child is using the Regression defense mechanism.

Explanation: Regression refers to a method whereby an individual act out behaviour typical of an earlier developmental stage rather than handling unacceptable impulses in a more adaptive way. Regression is a strategy employed in defense mechanism which is a strategy used unconsciously by individuals to cope with harmful or stressful situations.

Answer:

The medical assistant should identify that the child is using b. Regression as a defense mechanism.

Explanation:

Regression is the defense mechanism in which an individual temporarily <em>"goes back" to a previous stage in life</em> in which he/she felt more secure.

We can see that the child presents this defense mechanism by sucking her thumb, which she hasn't done since she was a baby (now she is 5 years old). She is unable to deal with her current stage in life in an adaptive way and thus chooses to go back to a previous stage.

Involuntary, court-ordered sterilization of the mentally handicapped was once approved by the U.S. Supreme Court in Buck v. Bell
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: eugenics

Explanation:

The Buck vs. Bell ruling (May 2, 1927) that approved the eugenic sterilization of those considered genetically feeble, led the way to similar laws in 30 states under which around 65,000 people were sterilized without consent.

The Virginia General Assembly would recognize that the sterilization law was founded on flawed science and on May 2, 2002, a marker was built to acknowledge Carrie Buck in Charlottesville, her hometown.
