Answer to Question 1

B, C
Feedback:
Natriuretic hormone is released in response to fluid overload, not fluid depletion and hemodilution, and not hemoconcentration. Erythropoietin is released in response to decreased red blood cell production.

Calculate the number of tablets required to administer 20 mg by dividing 20 mg by 2.5 mg. 20/2.5 = 8 tablets
