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.

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.
