Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The simplest way to convert measurements from one system to another is to set up a ratio and proportion equation. The ratio containing two known equivalent amounts is placed on one side of an equation, and the ratio containing the amount you wish to convert and its unknown equivalent is placed on the other side.
60 mg/1 grain = flexion range of motion. Cross-multiplying yields 30 mg.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Supplying an exogenous hormone may increase the hormone levels in the body, but it then may affect the hypothalamicpituita ry axis (HPA) to stop production of releasing and stimulating hormones, leading to a decrease in the body's normal production of the hormone. It does not stimulate the gland or the HPA. It also does not trigger a negative feedback response.
