Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The iron in hemoglobin picks up oxygen in a loose chemical combination. As blood circulates through the capillaries, the hemoglobin gives its oxygen to various cells of the body and picks up their carbon dioxide. Defending the body against disease organisms, toxins, and irritants; being essential for blood clotting; plug formation; and further hemostasis; or releasing chemicals to assist the body in detoxifying foreign proteins, are not the main functions of hemoglobin. WBCs defend the body against disease organisms, toxins, and irritants. Platelets are essential for blood clotting, plug formation, and hemostasis. Eosinophils release chemicals to assist the body in detoxifying foreign proteins.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should identify clubbed feet as a congenital disorder. Chickenpox, scarlet fever, and whooping cough are caused by infections and are not congenital disorders.
