Answer to Question 1

Rationale: It is difficult for health care providers to deal with situations in which a caregiver (usually a parent) deliberately injures the person under their care. In these situations, health care providers should seek clinical supervision or a consultant to help them to cope with their personal responses.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Alcohol withdrawal symptoms will peak in 2448 hours after the last drink. Minor withdrawal symptoms will start 612 hours after the last drink. Delirium tremens will occur anytime after the first 48 hours after drinking stops.
