A nurse in a pediatric clinic is discussing the pathophysiology of Reye syndrome with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicate an understanding of the disorder?

A. "Reye syndrome is associated with misuse of acetaminophen." It is associated with aspirin, not acetaminophen, especially when used during viral illnesses like influenza or varicella. B. "Reye syndrome leads to venous thrombus formation." Venous thrombosis is not a hallmark feature. Reye syndrome affects the liver and brain, not the vascular system in this way. C. "Reye syndrome causes steatotic or fatty changes in the liver." Reye syndrome is characterized by fatty liver changes and cerebral edema, typically following viral infections treated with aspirin. D. "Reye syndrome is linked to decreased serum ammonia levels." In fact, serum ammonia levels increase due to liver dysfunction and impaired urea cycle function.
