Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Restrict dietary sodium to reduce edema in patients receiving cardiac glycosides. If the patient is hyponatremic or using a potassium-losing diuretic, increase potassium in diet, as well as limit fat intake to reduce weight and atherogenic activity.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The incidence of Parkinson's disease in children is very low. Children do, however, experience parkinsonian symptoms as a result of drug adverse effects, not of drug abuse. Fibromyalgia is not usually diagnosed in children either.
