Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
To prevent binding of thyroid hormones by cholestyramine, administer doses at least 4 hours apart.

ANS: D
Cretinism is a condition resulting from congenital hypothyroidism. Diabetes is not a complication of congenital hypothyroidism. Periorbital edema and impaired vision are complications of hyperthyroidism.
