Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This disorder is treated with NSAIDs. Acetaminophen is not an NSAID, although the dose listed is a safe dose. Prednisone is also not an NSAID, although the dose listed is a safe dose. Ibuprofen and Naproxen are both NSAIDs. The dose of ibuprofen is correct; the safe dose for naproxen is 10-15 mg/kg/dose every 12 hours.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
JA is an autoimmune, inflammatory process often thought to be triggered by an infection. The etiology is not genetic, caused by latent infections, or completely unknown.
