Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Age, height, and weight are used to calculate drug dosages for the pediatric client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Infants have less albumin than older adults and fewer protein receptor sites available for binding with medication. Infants have higher levels of extracellular fluids, increasing the tendency for dehydration and changes in distribution of water-soluble medications.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
