A nurse is discussing the process of hematopoiesis with a new nurse. It is important for the new nurse to understand that:
 
  1. Red blood cells live for less than five days.
   2. Red blood cells are produced with erythropoietin and iron.
   3. Red blood cells develop in the long bones.
   4. Hemolysis of red blood cells occurs in the kidneys.

Question 2

A 13-year-old girl is crying in the nurse's office at school because she has thick, white, odorless, discharge in her underwear. She is afraid she has some type of infection. The most appropriate question for the nurse to ask would be:

   2. When was the last time you had a shower?
   3. Have you had sexual intercourse?
   4. Do you take birth control pills?
