Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Somatropin is ineffective when impaired growth is present after puberty, when the epiphyses of the long bones have closed. Low albumin is not a contraindication to the use of somatropin. The sutures of the skull close early in life.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
For IM administration of chlorpromazine, the nurse should have the patient lie down for 30 to 60 minutes after the injection to prevent orthostatic hypotension. Massage is unnecessary, and the ventrogluteal site is used. Self-administration is not the norm.
