Feedback
A Incorrect: A child is not more susceptible to dehydration states than adults because children forget to drink enough water unless their parents remind them.
B Incorrect: A child is not more susceptible to dehydration states than adults because children have diarrhea and vomiting more often than adults.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. A genogram is a format for drawing a family tree that records information about family members and their relationships over a period of time, usually three generations. It maps the structure of the family and records the health history of all members (morbidity, mortality, and onset of illnesses), thus revealing information about genetic and familial diseases.
B Incorrect. Genealogy does not provide the information necessary to know about the potential for genetic and familial diseases.
C Incorrect. Genocide does not provide the information necessary to know about the potential for genetic and familial diseases.
D Incorrect. A genogram is focused upon an individual and her family history, not military groups.
