Answer to Question 1

0.40 mg
Feedback:
The nurse needs to first determine the patient's weight in kilograms by dividing the weight in pounds by 2.2 or 88 / 2.2 = 40 kg. Then the nurse is to multiply the dose of 0.01 mg by the weight or 0.01 mg  40 kg = 0.40 . The nurse is to provide the patient with 0.40 ml of the medication.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Thelarche is the term used to describe breast budding. Menarche refers to the first menstrual period. Puberty refers to the biological changes that occur during adolescence. Tanner stage 5 involves maturation of the breast tissue to adult configuration.
