Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Clients with fibromyalgia typically complain of multiple tender points generally including the neck, spine, and knees. Acute chest pain, pain from a rash, and muscle strain of the eye are not reported symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Splenic sequestration can be life-threatening, and there is profound anemia. The child should not be placed in a room with any child who might have an infectious illness. A private room is appropriate for this child. The child should not be exposed to other children with potentially infectious illnesses, so a semi-private room is not appropriate. The child is not contagious; therefore, neither airborne nor contact isolation is necessary.
