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.
