Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
All these options are possible adverse effects of the drug. However, for the adolescent, acne is the only one that could cause image concerns, which could lead to low self-esteem. Dizziness, insomnia, and fatigue would not cause self-esteem concerns.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
To calculate the minimum dosage, multiply the child's weight in kg by the lower dosage range; 12.5  0.005 = 0.0625 mg.
