Answer to Question 1

2. People generally find it easier to work through a crisis if someone is working with them..

Rationale:
In general, people are more successful in working through a crisis if they have someone to help them. This need for help is not gender dependent. A crisis results in such a state of disequilibrium that it is generally self-limiting and not a long-term event. Experiencing a crisis may actually offer the family or individual a potential for growth and change.

Answer to Question 2

1. Daily for six weeks and then alternate-day doses for six weeks.

Rationale:
Prednisone, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory action that is frequently used to treat nephritic syndrome, is administered daily for six weeks and then in alternate-day doses for six weeks. Daily for one week followed by alternate-day doses for a week would not be effective for treating nephritic syndrome. Short-burst therapy would not be effective for treating nephritic syndrome. Infrequent dosing would not be effective for treating nephritic syndrome.
