Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Infants with a fever are at risk of urinary tract infections, which would be diagnosed through a urine test for culture and sensitivity. Electrolytes, BUN and creatinine, CT head, and abdominal ultrasound are not as closely associated with differential diagnosis of the child's fever.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

This client fulfills the diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The other three clients fulfill some of these criteria but not enough to qualify for a diagnosis of CFS; they also have other conditions that may be causing their fatigue.
