is a frequently-occurring disease or simply that the research databases had a lot of articles about it is not clear. However, there were a suitable number of articles that discussed
the impact of any chronic illness on the family structure, which is what we need. (If the student wants to use a particular family from their own experience, they will
have to include that information; there are several points at which they can interject specific case studies.) Here, we are asked to describe the client, the illness, the epidemiology and
