Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Dosages of pediatric medications are calculated based on weight.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
It is necessary to assess each patient's need and desire for contraception, as well as her willingness to comply with the prescribed regimen. Compliance is essential for effective contraception. Health status, knowledge, and risk factors are all valid focuses for health education, but these do not primarily determine success of therapy.
