Answer to Question 1

A
In an autologous transplant, the child's own marrow or previously harvested and banked cord blood is used. In an allogeneic BMT, histocompatibility has been matched with a related or unrelated donor. In a syngeneic transplant, the child receives bone marrow from an identical twin. A stem cell transplantation uses a unique immature cell present in the peripheral circulation.

Answer to Question 2

A
An ANC of 900/mm3 reflects a moderate risk of infection. The skin provides a barrier against infection. All areas should be inspected carefully for signs of infection. A live virus vaccine, such as MMR, could produce infection in an immunocompromised child. An appropriate intervention for a child with a low platelet count would be to check urine and stools for blood; an appropriate precaution would be to teach the child to blow the nose gently.
