Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
This response shows empathy to the client and encourages her to further discuss the reasons they are non-compliant with the prescribed treatment regimen. It's important for you to take the pills even if you're not sexually active..., and The doctor has prescribed these for you because it is an effective treatment... are accurate statements, but they are not methods of therapeutic communication and do not lead to further discussion about the noncompliance. Asking if the parents know she isn't taking the medications leads to mistrust of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B
Growth hormone deficiency can result from a variety of causes. These causes may include genetic mutations, tumors, infection and birth trauma. Some cases have not identifiable causes. Most children diagnosed with this condition are of normal length and weight at birth but in childhood fall behind in growth. A small proportion of children may have nutritional concerns.
