Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The dose of aspirin given depends mainly on the condition being treated. Low doses (325 mg initially and 80 mg daily) are used for the drug's antiplatelet effects in preventing arterial thrombotic disorders such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
If premature puberty occurs in a boy being treated with androgens (e.g., precocious sexual development, enlarged penis), it is necessary to stop the drug. Changes in blood pressure, increased growth, and urinary tract infections are unlikely causes for the cessation in treatment.
