Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Oxandrin is given intermittently to pediatric patients and should not be used on a daily basis for short, long, or continuous therapy.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Maintaining the volume and composition of body fluids within normal ranges includes clearing nitrogenous wastes from protein metabolism; maintaining acidbase balance and electrolyte levels; excreting various drugs and drug metabolites; regulating vitamin D activation, which helps to maintain and regulate calcium levels; regulating blood pressure through the reninangiotensinald osterone system; and regulating red blood cell production through the production and secretion of erythropoietin. The renal system does not act as a diuretic.
