Answer to Question 1

C
Standardized doses of medication for children do not exist. The most common method of determining medication amounts is based on the child's weight.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cancers are named according to the site of the primary neoplasm or the type of tissue involved. The four main classifications by tissue type include lymphomas, cancers occurring in lymphatic tissue and similar infection-fighting organs; leukemias, cancers occurring in blood-forming organs such as bone marrow; sarcomas, cancers occurring in connective tissue such as bone; and carcinomas, cancers occurring in epithelial tissue such as skin.
