Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The child is not dehydrated as evidenced by adequate wet diapers, so nonpharmacologic measures, such as oral fluids, are recommended. Antiemetics are not recommended unless dehydration occurs. Intravenous fluids are given when dehydration is present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Patients taking antihyperlipidemics should be advised to increase fluid intake. It is not necessary to take with food. Patients should never stop taking a statin without consulting the provider. Patients should continue a low-fat diet while taking statins.
