Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Grandparents have always had an important role to play and have be-come more important than ever in recent decades.
B Correct. An increasing number of parents have been unable to provide necessary care for their children as a result of personal problems, and often, grandparents fill the gaps.
C Incorrect. Grandparents provide continuity, family tradition, and accumulated wisdom.
D Incorrect. It is still expected that parents will be the primary caregivers.

Answer to Question 2

B
Her resistance to disease is likely to be lower as a result of the effects of heavy stresses acting simultaneously. She may be seeking attention, but that does not make the stress and illness any less real. Her greatest need at this moment is to be treated for influenza. Respite care may be ne-cessary, but it is not sufficient. Successful coping with a crisis may lead to a higher level of func-tioning.
