Answer to Question 1

D
The recovery period is often lengthy and fatigue may continue, necessitating a gradual return to school activities. During the acute and recovery phases, activity restrictions, which include no contact sports or roughhousing, are implemented to protect the child's enlarged spleen from rupture. The recovery process is a slow and gradual one and bed rest is indicated during the acute stage of the illness, usually lasting 2 to 4 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

B
A long-term side effect of aminoglycoside therapy is hearing impairment. Aminoglycosides do not affect the hemoglobin level, glucose control, or directly affect platelets.
