Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Excretion of most drugs occurs via the kidneys, and elimination in the urine follows. Young children have immature kidneys, a reduced glomerular filtration rate, and slower renal clearance. Neonates are especially prone to increased levels of drugs that are eliminated primarily by the kidneys. CK, albumin, and C-reactive protein levels do not directly relate to this physiological characteristic.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Cholestyramine is not absorbed systemically, so the main adverse effects are gastrointestinal (GI) ones (abdominal fullness, flatulence, diarrhea, and constipation). Constipation is especially common, and a bowel program may be necessary to control this problem.
