Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukemia among children and adolescents. Most cases of ALL result from the malignant transformation of B cells. The onset of ALL is usually acute and rapid. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by abnormal proliferation of all bone marrow elements.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C, D

The first step in the three-step approach to pain management involves administering a nonopioid drug first. If pain is not adequately controlled with this mild intervention, clients should advance to step 2 and receive a mild opioid in combination with the same or a new nonopioid drugs. If the client is still experiencing pain, the mild opioid should be replaced with a stronger opioid in step 3. Pain-relieving drugs should be given by the clock (every 3-6 hours) rather than on demand to maintain freedom from pain.
