Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Fatalities associated with risks of taking growth hormone with Prader-Willi syndrome have been reported, so it is contraindicated in patients with this syndrome. It is not contraindicated in patients with asthma or enuresis. Dwarfism is an indication for hormone therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Athletes should be advised not to take growth hormone to build muscle because of its effects on blood sugar and other side effects.
