Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse should watch for bleeding from the site. Because of related liver dysfunction with Reye syndrome, laboratory studies, such as prolonged bleeding time, should be monitored to determine impaired coagulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The etiology of Reye syndrome is not well understood, but most cases follow a common viral illness, typically influenza or varicella.
