A 12-year-old adolescent boy who was hospitalized with complications of diabetes is concerned that his 9-year-old sister is taller than he is and asks the nurse why he is so short compared to his sister. The nurse's best response would be:
 
  a. When we get your diabetes under control, you may see yourself having a major growth spurt.
  b. You may have inherited the genetic makeup for being short, while your sister got the tall genes.
  c. Since she does not have diabetes, she is able to take in more food and put her food intake to maximum use.
  d. Girls may begin their growth spurt as early as age 7-1/2, while boys typically start a growth spurt by age 13.
