Answer:

Upper Limit (UL)

Explanation:

Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) is a group of four nutrient based values i.e. Adequate Intake (AI), Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL). RDA is the average daily dietary intake sufficient to meet level of nutrients required by an individual. RDA depends on EAR. If EAR cant be estimated for some reasons, RDA cant be calculated and instead AI is used to estimate sufficient dietary intake. AI is derived on experimental basis by observing average nutrient intake by group of healthy individuals.

UL is the highest level of nutrient intake possible on a daily basis without causing harm to the individual. Intake above UL increases the risk of adverse effects. UL is higher than RDA or AI. Hence, Marni could be informed by UL the maximum amount of vitamin A she could consume without risk of side effects.

Answer: Reye's Syndrome

Explanation:

The use of acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin is limit in children under 16 years old to treat fever or pain, as this substance is associated with a rare but serious complication, especially during chickenpox and flu, called Reye's syndrome. Although this syndrome is not yet fully understood, there are several studies relating Reye's Syndrome to the use of salicylate-containing medicines, including acetylsalicylic acid. Thus, the onset of this syndrome in children is related to the administration of infant aspirin.  Reye's syndrome mainly affects children between 4 and 14 years. The symptoms of this syndrome are added to those already suffered by the child due to the viral process that affects them, such as the flu or chickenpox. The most common are vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness and irritability. Later, the child may be confused, with muscle weakness, and even seizure and lose consciousness.

Ask "If I asked your brother what the good door is, what would he say?"

Explanation:

If you ask the truth-telling brother, he will point to the bad door, because this is what the lying brother would point to.

Alternatively, if you ask the lying brother, he will also point to the bad door, because this is NOT what the truth-telling brother would point to.
