Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A This is an acceptable volume to inject; however, it is not the maximum.
B The maximum volume of medication for an intramuscular injection to a neonate
is 1.0 mL.
C This volume is appropriate for an intramuscular injection to an infant or older
child, not a neonate.
D This volume is not appropriate for a neonate.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
Feedback
Correct The results of the complete blood count in a child with iron-deficiency
anemia will show low hemoglobin levels (6 to 11 g/dL) and microcytic,
hypochromic RBCs; this manifests as decreased MCV and decreased mean
cell hemoglobin. The reticulocyte count is usually slightly elevated or
normal.
Incorrect The reticulocyte count is usually slightly elevated or normal, and mean cell
volume levels are decreased, not increased.
