Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Bleeding time in DIC is normal.
B Degradation of fibrin leads to the accumulation of multiple fibrin clots
throughout the body's vasculature.
C Low platelets may occur with but are not indicative of DIC because they may
result from other coagulopathies.
D Hypofibrinogenemia occurs with DIC.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A The method that is determined most appropriate for the child should be used
consistentlythe same site and device to maintain consistency and allow
reliable comparison and tracking of temperatures over time.
B Because of the risk of rectal perforation and the intrusive nature of the
procedure, rectal temperatures are measured only when no other route can be
used or when it is necessary to obtain a core body temperature.
C Oral temperatures can be used on most children older than 6 years of age but
may be inaccurate because of oral intake, oral surgery, oxygen therapy, nebulizer
treatments, or crying.
D The method of measuring temperature should be consistent, including at night.
