Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

There is a lack of recognized biological markers for CFS. While there are no cures presently, there are treatments that are aimed at alleviating symptoms. Diagnostic criteria have been established, and CFS can manifest with such objective findings as fever and lymph node and thyroid enlargement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The hypothalamus in older adults is often less capable of thermoregulation than in younger clients. There are sometimes alterations in the release of endogenous pyrogens and deficits in vasoconstriction. While infections do often manifest with cognitive changes in older adults, this does not explain why fever is precluded.
