Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The adverse effects that most often occur when using a growth hormone (GH) include the development of antibodies to GH and subsequent signs of inflammation and autoimmune-type reactions, such as swelling and joint pain, and the endocrine reactions of hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. It would not be necessary to notify the physician for development of a bruise. The health care provider should always be notified if a patient develops severe hypertension or tachycardia but this would not be related to administration of somatropin so it would not be included in drug teaching.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Some health care providers have learned to deal with the disease of the week as seen on talk shows; others can be unprepared to deal with what was presented and may lose credibility with the patient.
