Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Along with the swollen abdomen on one side, vomiting and anorexia would point to the possibility of a neuroblastoma. A maculopapular rash on the child's palms is a sign of graft-versus-host disease. Irritability and failing to gain weight would suggest a possible brain tumor as well as malabsorption problems. Auscultation revealing wheezing with diminished lung sounds would suggest other problems, not a neuroblastoma.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
A stool softener such as docusate (Colace) may promote bowel elimination in a woman with a fourth-degree laceration, who may fear that bowel movements will be painful. Ferrous sulfate would be used to treat anemia. However, it is associated with constipation and would increase the discomfort when the woman has a bowel movement. Methylergonovine would be used to prevent or treat postpartum hemorrhage. Bromocriptine is used to treat hyperprolactinemia.
