1. An adolescent with asthma
2. A preschool child hospitalized with injuries sustained in a traumatic motor vehicle accident
3. A school-age child having an appendectomy
4. An infant with sepsis

1. The adolescent with asthma does not have as great a need for play therapy as does the pre-school-age child surviving a car accident.
2. Play therapy often is used with preschool- and school-age children who are experiencing anxi-ety, stress, and other specific nonpsychotic mental disorders. In this case, the child who experi-enced a traumatic motor vehicle accident should be referred for play therapy.
3. The school-age child having an appendectomy does not have as great a need for play therapy as does the preschool-age child surviving a car accident.
4. The infant with sepsis does not have as great a need for play therapy as does the preschool-age child surviving a car accident.
