Answer to Question 1

1
A syngeneic transplant uses bone marrow donated by an identical twin. An autologous transplant is the removal of bone marrow cells from the individual; the cells are treated and stored and then returned after the individual receives intensive chemotherapy or radiation. Allograft refers to cells and tissue obtained from the same species who has a similar type or cell compatibility. Apheresis is a procedure used to treat autoimmune disorders.

Answer to Question 2

4
Exposure to sunlight exacerbates the disease process. Body temperature should be monitored for increases and possible infection. Corticosteroid treatment cannot be abruptly stopped. Activity with rest periods should be encouraged.
