Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating. The nurse might want to offer the child some extra washcloths or hand towels. The other items are not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A depot injection is one in which the medication effect lasts a longer time, such as 2 or 3 months. Octreocide suppresses growth hormone. Depot injections can be either subcutaneous or intramuscular. Because the medication lasts for months, the child does not need weekly injections.
