Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The neutropenic child should not have fresh flowers, plants, fruits, or vegetables because they can harbor infectious microorganisms. The other instructions are not needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Anaphylaxis is a possible side effect of this drug. Emergency medications should be readily available. Ototoxicity can be caused by carboplatin (Paraplatin). Monitoring intake and output is important for any child on IV therapy. Anti-emetic drugs are important for any child receiving chemotherapy.
