Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: No respite time from caregiving responsibilities may lead to overwhelming caregiver burden. The family's pitching in to help indicates family support. Substituting generic for brand-name medications will not result in caregiver burden. The mother's choosing to care for the child and receiving help from the husband indicates family support.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: As adolescents develop a sense of identity, they are focused on themselves and the present. They have a heightened concern about their appearance but may have inaccurate assessments of their body image and low self-esteem when comparing their bodies with those of their peers.
