Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Filgrastim (Neupogen) increases production of neutrophils by the bone marrow. Ondansetron (Zofran) is an antiemetic, oprelvekin (Neumega) increases platelets, and epoetin alfa (human recombinant erythropoietin) stimulates red-blood-cell (RBC) production.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Preschool-age children may think they caused their illness. Adolescents find contact with others who have gone through their experience helpful. School-age children can understand a diagnosis of cancer. Infants and toddlers are unaware of the severity of the disease.
