It is normal for a 4-year-old child to be hesitant and scared when approached by a stranger in a medical setting. Crying and clinging to their parents is a common response to feeling scared or uncomfortable. A and D are not necessarily abnormal behaviors, but they are not specific to the situation described in the scenario. Running up to a stranger is not a typical behavior for a 4-year-old who is scared or uncomfortable, and flaring nostrils are not a significant indicator of a medical issue or emotional distress.
