Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 5
Prior to harvesting, hematopoietic growth factors, including G-CSF and GM-CSF, are administered to the donor for 4 to 5 days. This increases the concentration of stem cells in peripheral blood, allowing it to be used for the transplant. Peripheral blood is removed and white cells are separated from the plasma, then administered via a large central venous catheter.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Once the patient has expressed a concern about getting affairs in order, the nurse can offer additional information or discuss available resources. Anticipatory grieving is identifying emotional losses or potential losses such as function, independence, appearance, friends, self-esteem, and self prior to actual events related to death. Making referrals for support or bereavement groups is appropriate at this time. Leading questions encourage patients to verbalize their feelings.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
