Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Asking what the child has drawn is a neutral and nonthreatening question. Drawings can give a clue to perceptions and emotions that a young child may not be able to verbalize. The nurse should not try to interpret the drawing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Before the actual marrow transplant, the patient must undergo total body irradiation or chemotherapy to kill all the marrow cells and the leukemic cells. The patient is at a major risk for infection at this time.
