Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Children need to play and learn so meeting the child's social, emotional, and intellectual needs is a part of the care plan that was not as significant with adults. Administration of combination drugs, Double-checking dosage calculations and appropriateness of drug dosage, and Monitoring for hydration and nutritional status are all components of adult care as well as pediatric care.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The negative feedback system is a control system in which increasing levels of a hormone lead to decreased levels of releasing and stimulating hormones, leading to decreased hormone levels, which stimulates the release of releasing and stimulating hormones; it allows tight control of the endocrine system. It does not involve changing the environment or control the action of hormones.
