Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Clinical signs of SIADH are directly related to fluid retention and hyponatremia. When cells in the brain are exposed to too much water as opposed to sodium, swelling occurs. When serum sodium levels are diminished to 120?9?mEq/l, affected children may display anorexia, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, irritability, and personality changes. Polyuria and polydipsia are manifestations of diabetes insipidus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Trauma, neoplasms, and radiotherapy can be the cause of central precocious puberty. Exogenous sex hormones and primary hypothyroidism can cause peripheral precocious puberty.
