Answer to Question 1

A, C
Feedback:
BSA is calculated using the child's weight and height. The child's age and the normal adult dose are normally relevant to dosing, but not to the calculation of BSA.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
When taken correctly, estrogenprogestin contraceptive preparations are nearly 100 effective in preventing pregnancy. Genetics do not significantly affect treatment.
