Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Intrathecal chemotherapy (introducing chemotherapy into the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord) is an invasive procedure and requires a signed consent. Although all actions are important for this child, the priority is ensuring the consent is executed appropriately and on the chart.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An oncogene is a gene found inside a virus that has the ability to encourage a normal cell to become malignant.
