Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Acute leukemia is often marked by a fever as well as leukostasis. Changes in oxygen saturation, electrolytes, and BUN would be less closely associated with ALL and AML.

Ans:
C

Feedback:

No treatment other than the avoidance of aspirin is normally needed in the case of von Willebrand disease. Avoiding trauma and factor VIII therapy apply to hemophilia. Von Willebrand disease involves both the platelet and coagulation systems.
