Russell's sign in an adolescent is a strong indication of:

1. Scoliosis.
2. Anorexia.
3. Bulemia.
4. STDs.

Question 2

A father brings his 3-year-old daughter to the cancer treatment center for a follow-up appointment. The previous rounds of chemotherapy were not successful in treating his daughter's cancer. The plan is to provide an allogeneic transplantation.

The father verbalizes an understanding of the process when he states: 1. An allogeneic transplant puts my daughter as the lowest risk for rejection..
2. I will need to get high doses of chemotherapy for the bone marrow to be appropriate for my daughter's body..
3. I will need to be in isolation after the donation procedure..
4. My daughter will need a transplant from her mother and myself to be successful in curing the disease..

1. The allogeneic transplant has the lowest risk of rejection and would be appropriate for the child.
2. The receiver needs the high doses of chemotherapy, not the donor.
3. The daughter will need to be in isolation after the donation to help decrease the risk for infection because the chemotherapy increases her susceptibility to infection.
4. The transplant can come from the mother or the father. The important factor is having an allogeneic match.
