Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Meperidine (pethidine Demerol) is not recommended. Normeperidine, a metabolite of meperidine, is a central nervous system stimulant that produces anxiety, tremors, myoclonus, and generalized seizures when it accumulates with repetitive dosing. Patients with SCD are particularly at risk for normeperidine-induced seizures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
SCIDS is a genetic disorder that results in deficits of both humoral and cellular immunity. Fanconi syndrome is a hereditary disorder of red blood cell production. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder with selected deficiencies of T and B lymphocytes. AIDS is not inherited.
