Answer to Question 1

1
The primary goal of therapy for this type of leukemia is complete remission with restoration of normal hematopoiesis. Induction chemotherapy is administered first. Consolidation occurs afterwards. Maintenance therapy then occurs followed by central nervous system prophylaxis.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Discharge instructions for a client being discharged after experiencing an acute myocardial infarction include understanding cardiac condition, chest pain management, activity, medications, risk factors, diet, and signs and symptoms to report to the physician. Immunizations are not a part of discharge instructions after an acute myocardial infarction.
