Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The Question Stem indicates that the child associates the treatment room with a painful procedure, and the reaction to entering the treatment room is based on anticipation of repeat discomfort. The child's behavior is appropriate for coping in a child of this age. This child is not old enough to understand the need for a lumbar puncture. The child's fear is related not to the unfamiliar environment but to the anticipated pain associated with the treatment room. The Question Stem indicates that the child has been through painful procedures in the treatment room, so Knowledge Deficient is not the most appropriate diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of leukemia in children and the most common cancer affecting children under 5 years of age. The other choices are also types of leukemia, but are incorrect choices.
B) Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of leukemia in children and the most common cancer affecting children under 5 years of age. The other choices are also types of leukemia, but are incorrect choices.
