Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In Tanner stage 3, the entire breast in enlarged but the nipple and papillae are not enlarged yet. Pubic hair appears in a typical female inverted triangular pattern. Breast budding signifies stage 2, but in this stage pubic hair is not thick and curly. Protruded nipples and thigh hair are seen in stage 5.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
A peripheral line is used for short-term intravenous therapy, including transfusions, the possibility of future intravenous therapy, or intermittent medication administration. Those children with a condition necessitating long-term intravenous access are candidates for central venous access devices. The children who will need long-term intravenous hydration or chemotherapy are candidates for a central venous access device.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
