Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
First convert the child's weight to kilograms by dividing 44 pounds by 2.2 kg/1 pound = 20 kg. Multiply the dosage times the child's weight: 20 kg  0.03 mg/kg/d = 0.6 mg/d

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The fine-tuning and regulation of hormone release through the hypothalamus is often regulated by a series of negative feedback systems. Other options are incorrect answers as they are distracters for this question.
