Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The use of vincristine can cause specific neurologic symptoms of weakness, tingling, and numbing of the extremities and sometimes the inability to walk because of loss of ankle support. This medication does not cause tooth pain, reduced hearing, or bright red cheeks.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
if a tablet or capsule is the only oral form available for children younger than 6 years, it needs to be crushed or opened and mixed with a pleasant-tasting liquid or a small amount (generally no more than a tablespoon) of a nonessential food such as applesauce. The crushed tablet or inside of a capsule may taste bitter, so it should never be mixed with formula or other essential foods. Otherwise, the child may associate the bitter taste with the food and later refuse to eat it.
