Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Because the nurse knows only the child's age, the nurse would need to use Young's rule to determine the appropriate dosage. The formula for Young's rule is: Child's dose = child's age in years  (child's age + 12)  average adult dose. Using the information provided in the question: Dose = 6  (6 + 12)  10 mg = 6  18  10 = 0.33  10 = 3.3.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Thyroid hormone regulates the metabolic rate of the body and greatly influence growth and development. Parathormone, cortisol, and insulin do not regulate the metabolic rate or influence growth and development.
