Answer to Question 1

A
Chlamydia is the most common STD in the United States. It often remains undiagnosed because patients are often asymptomatic. The incubation period of this disease is 1 week. Mothers infected with this disease can transmit it to their unborn fetus, often causing disability and death.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The nurse realizes that an order for a larger dose of a lipid-soluble medication is indicated because the 12-year-old male is overweight, not because females require less medication than males.
B Incorrect. The nurse realizes that an order for a larger dose of a lipid-soluble medication is indicated because the 12-year-old male is overweight, not because older children require more medication than younger peers.
C Correct. An individual with a higher percentage of body fat requires a higher mg/kg dose of a lipid-soluble medication than an individual with lower percentage of body fat. Lipid-soluble medications have a high affinity for adipose tissue and can be stored in body fat
D Incorrect. The nurse realizes that an order for a larger dose of a lipid-soluble medication is indicated because the 12-year-old male is overweight, not because boys have more muscle, which uses more lipid-soluble drug faster.
