Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
The drug can be given at home by the family. Because it supplies the missing factor, transfusions are not necessary and consequently the exposure to HIV and hepatitis A and B is reduced. Cost of care is greatly reduced because hospitalizations and transfusions are not as frequently required. The drug does not prevent hemorrhage; it makes hemorrhage manageable.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Feedback
1. Symmetry of the extremities could differ.
2. Growth will occur.
3. Serial X-rays will be required in order to measure curvature.
4. Usually occurs after the age of 2
5. The majority of the issues occur during the school-age years.
