Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Dilantin can cause gum overgrowth, which can be minimized by regular massaging. Dilantin frequently causes drowsiness and should be given with meals at the same time each day.

A child with a viral infection is at risk for Reye's syndrome, the onset of which is effortless vomiting, lethargy, and a change in level of consciousness. A 5-month-old child who sleeps after eating is normal.
