Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired hemorrhagic disorder characterized by an excessive destruction of platelets, discolorations caused by petechiae beneath the skin, and normal bone marrow. Aplastic anemia refers to a bone marrow failure condition in which the formed elements of the blood are simultaneously depressed. Thalassemia major is a group of blood disorders characterized by deficiency in the production rate of specific hemoglobin chains. Disseminated intravascular coagulation is characterized by diffuse fibrin deposition in the microvasculature, consumption of coagulation factors, and endogenous generation of thrombin and plasma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Anti-D antibody causes an increase in platelet count approximately 48 hours after administration. Splenectomy is reserved for chronic severe ITP not responsive to pharmacologic management. NSAIDs are not used in ITP. Both NSAIDs and aspirin interfere with platelet aggregation. The nurse works with the child and parents to choose quiet activities while the platelet count is below 100,000/mm3.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
