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.

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