Answer to Question 1

C
Healthy families recognize that some stress is normal in all families, focus on family strengths rather than on the problems, and know that stress is temporary and may be positive. Because some stress is normal in all families, there is no reason to feel guilty. Guilt only immobilizes the family and does not lead to a resolution of the stress.

Answer to Question 2

A
The higher proportion of body fluid to body mass in infants increases the risk of cardiovascular problems because of a less effective cardiovascular response to changing intravascular volume. Infants are at an increased risk for protein and calorie deficiency because they have smaller muscle mass and lower body fat. Hypovolemia is a risk for all burn patients; however, the risk is higher for the infant than for the adolescent. There is an increased risk for electrolyte loss in the infant because of the larger body surface area.
