Tiagabine must be monitored when given to teens because:
 
  1. It is less effective during puberty.
   2. It has a high incidence of suicidal tendencies in teens.
   3. It needs to be titrated with the teen's growth pattern.
   4. It is known to be sold as a street drug.

Question 2

Jackson, a 9-month-old infant, is an inpatient on a pediatric floor due to a diagnosis of RSV. His mother is concerned because everyone comes into the room with a gown, mask, and gloves.
 
  The nurse attempts to educate his mother on the process of the disease. The nurse knows that the mother has an understanding of the illness when she states: 1. I can catch the virus just like a cold..
   2. The virus is spread by droplets, and the health-care workers need to make sure not to carry Jackson's illness to other patients..
   3. This is to protect Jackson from getting an illness from the health-care providers..
   4. This is standard procedure on a pediatric floor during the RSV season..
