Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Indications for somatropin therapy include cachexia, long-term treatment of children with growth failure associated with various deficiencies, girls with Turner's syndrome, AIDS-related wasting, growth hormone deficiency in adults, and treatment of growth failure in children of small gestational age who do not achieve catch-up growth by 2 years of age. Bromocriptine mesylate is indicated for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, hyperprolactinemia associated with pituitary adenomas, female infertility associated with hyperprolactinemia, and acromegaly; and short-term treatment of amenorrhea or galactorrhea. Desmopressin is indicated for the treatment of neurogenic diabetes insipidus and hemophilia A. Leuprolide is used as an antineoplastic agent for treatment of specific cancers.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Teaching a patient about using an inhaled sympathomimetic for management of exercise-induced asthma should include instructions to use the inhaler 30 to 60 minutes before exercising to ensure therapeutic levels when needed. The inhaler would not be used daily and waiting until symptoms occur will be too late for prevention. Options B and D are not correct.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
