1. Assessment will need to be done to make sure that the child is receiving the correct recommended dose, but the child will need the medication for the remainder of her life.
2. The medication should be given in the morning.
3. The medication does not require daily weight checks.
4. The medication will need to be taken for the remainder of the child's life because the body does not naturally regulate the hormones.
