Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Precocious puberty of central origin is treated with monthly subcutaneous injections of luteinizing hormonereleasing hormone. Thyrotropin, gonadotropin, and somatotropic hormone are not appropriate therapies for precocious puberty.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In children with hypopituitarism, the skeletal proportions are normal. Growth is within normal limits for the first year of life. Height is usually more delayed than weight. Intelligence is not affected by hypopituitarism.
