Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Most cases of Reye's syndrome follow a common viral illness such as varicella or influenza. Measles, meningitis, and hepatitis are not associated with Reye's syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Neuroblastoma is a silent tumor with few symptoms. In more than 70 of cases, diagnosis is made after metastasis occurs, with the first signs caused by involvement in the nonprimary site. In only 30 of cases is diagnosis made before metastasis. Neuroblastomas are the most common malignant extracranial solid tumors in children. The majority of tumors develop in the adrenal glands or the retroperitoneal sympathetic chain. They are not benign; they metastasize.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
