Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct: A 6-year-old child is limited to thinking concretely and in the present time frame.
B Incorrect: A 6-year-old child's thinking is concrete but not focused in the past or the future.
C Incorrect: A 6-year-old child's thinking is not abstract and in future-time frame.
D Incorrect: A 6-year-old child's thinking is not abstract and focused in the past.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. This neutrophil count is not approaching normal and the child is not on the way to recovery. A normal ANC is > 1000 per cubic mm.
B Correct. A child with an ANC of 500 or less per cubic mom's at risk for serious life-threatening bacterial infections, which are usually caused by normal body flora.
C Incorrect. The temperature of a child who is neutropenic should be monitored closely because infection in this child can quickly progress to septic shock and death. However, rectal temperatures should be avoided because it could lead to a break in the rectal mucosa, allowing bacteria into the bloodstream.
D Incorrect. The child who is neutropenic is immunosuppressed, and an iron-rich diet and more fresh fruits and vegetables will not resolve the problem.
