Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: These are classic symptoms of acute graft-versus-host disease following a bone marrow transplant, as the body attempts to destroy the bone marrow seen as a foreign antigen.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: A client receiving blood transfusions requires vital signs before beginning the transfusion, 15 minutes after starting the transfusion and then hourly from that point onward until the transfusion is completed. The other clients would require vital signs every 4 hours unless a complication or change in condition arose.
