Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Siblings are affected by a child's hospitalization. Their ability to cope is influenced by their age, experience, and intactness of the family.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Adolescents usually do better in rooms with one or more roommates than in single rooms. The adolescent would do best with a roommate who is closest to his or her age and also lives with a chronic illness.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
