Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Acetaminophen would be the suggested medication. It is prescribed for relief of pain and fever for influenza in children. Aspirin would be contraindicated because it increases the risk for Reye's syndrome. Etanercept and penicillamine are given for severe rheumatoid arthritis therapy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Patients with diabetes insipidus (DI) produce large amounts of dilute urine with a decrease in serum sodium levels. Administering desmopressin would reduce urine output and allow sodium levels to rise. Urine specific gravity would increase as the urine production slows and urine becomes more concentrated. There is no impact on red blood cell production with diabetes insipidus or its treatment. The urine of a patient with DI does not contain glucose.
