Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
A stool specimen for culture must be free of urine, water, and toilet paper. Therefore, the parent needs to understand how to collect the specimen so that it does not come into contact with any these. In addition, the specimen should not be retrieved out of toilet water. Mineral oil, barium, and bismuth interfere with the detection of parasites. In such cases, specimen collection should be delayed for 7 to 10 days. Once the specimen is collected, it should be brought to the laboratory immediately.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Cyclophosphamide may cause hemorrhagic cystitis. Therefore, the nurse needs to provide adequate hydration and have the child void frequently during and after the infusion to decrease the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis. Fluids need to be encouraged, not withheld. Monitoring for anaphylaxis would be appropriate when asparaginase or etoposide is given. Bone pain is associated with the administration of filgrastim or sargramostim.
