Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Captopril is an ACE inhibitor. Furosemide is a loop diuretic. Chlorothiazide works on the distal tubules. Spironolactone blocks the action of aldosterone and is a potassium-sparing diuretic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Fluoride supplementation is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics beginning at age 6 months if the child is not drinking adequate amounts of fluoridated water. Supplementation is not recommended before age 6 months regardless of whether the mother drinks fluoridated water. Infant cereal is not recommended at 2 weeks of age.
