Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Methylphenidate is best taken shortly before a meal. It should not be taken after 12 noon or 1 PM for children or after 6 PM for adults, because the stimulating effect may keep the client awake. The other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: SCD is an autosomal recessive disease. Children with the HbS trait are not sympto-matic. If one parent has the HbS trait and the other parent is normal, there is a 50 chance that each offspring will inherit the trait. If each parent carries the trait, there is a 25 chance that their child will be normal, a 50 chance that the child will carry the trait, and a 25 chance that each child will have the disease.
