Answer to Question 1

hemoglobin S

Hemoglobin S is the abnormal hemoglobin that makes red blood cells fragile and causes the walls of the cells to collapse, giving them the characteristic sickle shape.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
A school-age child is in the stage of industry versus inferiority. A chronic illness might experience loss of grade level in school because of illness and inability to participate or compete can lead to sense of inferiority. Sense of independence and accomplishment can be lost. Being different from peers may impede child's sense of belonging.
