Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
TPN is a highly concentrated solution of carbohydrates, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. TPN provides all nutrients to meet a child's needs. It is delivered via central venous access to allow rapid dilution of hypertonic solution. It is usually used in a child with a nonfunctioning gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as a congenital or acquired GI disorder; a child with severe failure to thrive or multisystem trauma or organ involvement; and preterm newborns.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
An adverse effect of methylphenidate hydrochloride (Ritalin) is anorexia. Sleepiness and garbled speech are not adverse effects of this medication. Children taking this medication can develop growth suppression and not accelerated growth in height.
