Answer to Question 1

D
Medical management focuses on lifetime thyroid hormone replacement therapy taken in the mornings.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Basic CPR is not interrupted for more than 7 seconds except when the rescuer becomes exhausted or there is a pulse and the client resumes breathing. The rescuer or nurse does not stop CPR if the client opens his or her eyes because these could be signs of partial or complete airway obstruction. Cyanosis is expected and cracked ribs do not prompt the abandonment of CPR efforts.
