Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Disengagement theory postulates that disengagement between the individual and society is beneficial to both parties. It does not propose that this process of withdrawal be prevented nor that it necessarily leads to frustration or illness. The immune system is not a central component of the theory.

Answer to Question 2

C
Most electrical burns result in cardiac arrest, and the patient will require CPR or astute cardiac monitoring.
