Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Reye syndrome is characterized by brain swelling, liver failure, and death in hours if treatment is not initiated. Therefore, increased intracranial pressure could occur. Liver enzyme levels typically increase. Blood glucose levels and protein in the urine are not characteristic of this illness.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Von Bertalanffy emphasizes the family as a system with interdependent, interacting parts that endure over time to ensure the survival, continuity, and growth of its components. Friedman emphasizes the social system of family, such as the organization or structure of the family and how the structure relates to the function. Duvall emphasizes the developmental stages that all families go through, beginning with marriage; the longitudinal career of the family is also known as the family life cycle. The family stress theory addresses the way families respond to stress and how the family copes with the stress as a group and how each individual member copes.
