Answer to Question 1

D
Growth hormone must be avoided in patients with PWS who are severely obese, who have a history of upper airway obstruction or sleep apnea, or who have severe respiratory impairment because of a risk of sudden death associated with these disorders. Behavior problems, low mus-cle tone, and mental impairment are commonly associated with PWS and are not contraindica-tions to treatment with growth hormone.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ranitidine is used to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Although cimetidine can also be used, ranitidine is more potent and therefore is preferred. Esomeprazole and sucralfate are not indi-cated.
