Answer to Question 1

4. 72 hours

Rationale:
Cerebral edema increases for 72 hours after injury.

Answer to Question 2

2. Genetic

Rationale:
Genetic theory is based on strong evidence that the transmission of certain genes contributes to the development of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Behavioral theorists believe compulsive behavior is an attempt to relieve anxiety. Humanistic theorists believe that one is unable to deal with the theories without looking at how they interact with each other. Psychosocial theorists believe that anxiety can be transmitted from the mother to the child.
