Answer to Question 1

D
None of the above selections is correct. The teen would be instructed to wear the brace 23 hours a day. This practice may be changing and a shorter time required. The teen should wear a T-shirt under the brace to protect the skin. Exercise should still be carried out and is often prescribed as part of the treatment.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. The pH is predictable in the neonate and the young infant, not unpredictable.
B Correct. Peristalsis is irregular in the neonate and the young infant. Therefore, the amount of drug absorbed in the small intestine may be unpredictable.
C Incorrect. Irregularity of the growth of the small intestine is not the primary predictor of absorption of medication in the neonate and the young infant.
D Incorrect. Irregularity of diet is not the primary predictor of absorption of medication in the neonate and the young infant.
