Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Cretinism is uncommon in the United States but may occur with a lack of iodine in the mother's diet. A lack of potassium, sodium, and magnesium in the mother's diet will not cause cretinism.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In moderate Crohn's disease, oral prednisone, 40 mg daily, is usually given until symptoms subside. The other listed corticosteroids are not normally used in the treatment of IBD.
