Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Children who weigh less than 50 kg should use 1 spray in one nostril for a dose of 150 mcg. Each spray delivers 150 mcg, so 1 spray in both nostrils would give a dose of 300 mcg. Using 2 sprays in one nostril would give a dose of 300 mcg; using 2 sprays in both nostrils would give a dose of 600 mcg.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Central venous access devices are used to facilitate frequent IV administration of factor replacement but pose the risks of infection and thrombosis. This patient has a fever, which is a symptom of infection. Anaphylactic reactions to factor replacement can occur but are characterized by wheezing and shortness of breath, along with swelling in the face. Viral contamination of factor replacement is rare with factor VIII. Thrombolytic events would have symptoms associated with clot formation in certain organs and are not associated with fever.
