Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Proper oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist are important because growth hormone treatments make the child's teeth softer and more prone to cavities. The other options do not address a specific issue related to this treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Growth hormone stimulation testing is often done with insulin or arginine. If the substance used does not stimulate an appropriate amount of growth hormone release, the diagnosis can be made. Measurements of cortisol are done to test adrenal gland function. Testosterone tests are done for sex hormone testing. The water deprivation test is done for diabetes insipidus.
