Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Feedback:
Adverse effects of desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) include nausea, flushing, and a headache. Thirst and itchy skin are not identified as adverse effects of this medication.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Up to 90 of neonates infected with hepatitis B develop chronic carrier status and will be predisposed to cirrhosis and hepatic cancer. The mother is not questioning side effects, safety, or disease prevention in general. Therefore, it is best to speak to her concerns.
