Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Explaining about the radioactive iodine procedure would be part of the teaching plan for a child with hyperthyroidism because this is a less invasive therapy for the disorder. Describing surgery to remove an anterior pituitary tumor is a teaching intervention for hyperpituitarism. Teaching parents to give injections of growth hormone is a teaching intervention for growth hormone deficiency. Showing parents how to give DDAVP intranasally is appropriate for a child with diabetes insipidus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
An antecedent flu-like illness is common with type 1 but possible with type 2 . Normal blood pressure would indicate type 1 . Unquenchable thirst and fatigue are seen in both types of diabetes mellitus. Kussmaul breathing is common to type 1 but possible in type 2.
