Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating. The nurse might want to offer the child some extra washcloths or hand towels. The other items are not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A depot injection is one in which the medication effect lasts a longer time, such as 2 or 3 months. Octreocide suppresses growth hormone. Depot injections can be either subcutaneous or intramuscular. Because the medication lasts for months, the child does not need weekly injections.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
