Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Careful bathing and handling are important in preventing trauma to the Wilms tumor site.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Determine the total percentage of neutrophils (polys, or segs, and bands). Multiply white blood cell (WBC) count by percentage of neutrophils.
WBC = 1000/mm3, neutrophils = 7, and nonsegmented neutrophils (bands) = 7
Step 1: 10 + 12 = 22
Step 2: 0.22  5000 = 1100/mm3 ANC
