Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Feedback:
Supplying an exogenous hormone may increase the hormone levels in the body, but then might affect the hypothalamicpituita ry axis (HPA) to stop production of releasing and stimulating hormones, leading to a decrease in the body's normal production of the hormone. Supplying exogenous hormone will not cause a decrease in exogenous hormone levels nor will it cause an increase in endogenous hormone levels.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Use the following ratio to determine how many drops of fluid to administer per minute:

Using the information from this problem:

37.5 can be rounded to 37 or 38 gtt/min.
