Vital Concept:Pharyngitis is the inflammation of the pharynx or the back of
the throat. Pharyngitis can be acute due to an infection. Chronic pharyngitis
lasts longer and does not respond to the same treatments as acute pharyngitis.
Adults who live and work in dusty environments such as construction sites are
at greater risk of developing chronic pharyngitis. Other clients who are at risk
of this condition are singers, voice actors, or news anchors who overuse their
voice, those who suffer from a chronic cough, and those who excessively use
alcohol and tobacco. Spicy foods have not been linked with chronic
pharyngitis.

"I want you both to go to your rooms since you can't
get along." C.
"Take turns playing with the
toy." D.
"I will find another toy so both of you can have one." -
answer>>>Correct Answer: D. "I will find another toy so both of you can
have one."
Toddlers have not developed the concept of sharing so the most appropriate
response is to get another toy that is the same or similar to the toy the
children are fighting over.
Incorrect Answers:
A. The 3-year-old child will not understand why the toy has been taken and
this likely will make the situation worse.
