Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The administration of isotretinoin is linked with increased blood lipid levels. The parents and teen should be taught that lipid levels should be periodically assessed. The assessment of blood pressure is not imperative. The patient should be assessed for depression, not euphoria. The patient will not need his weight assessed.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should check the infant's temperature before administering any vaccine. Three injection sites are not normally required, and vigorous massage is not indicated. Warming the vaccine is not normally necessary.
