Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Vertical (mother-to-infant) transmission can occur via breast milk, so the mother should be taught to bottle feed her baby. The other statements are inaccurate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is characterized by thrombocytopenia, so the low platelet count of 6,000 correlates with this condition. The low hemoglobin could be found if the child has significant bleeding, but is not a specific finding. The low PaO2 is also not directly related, and neither is the high white blood cell count.
