Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Graft versus host disease is an autoimmune-type process in which the donor cells recognize the client's cells as foreign and begin attacking them. The other answers are not accurate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Fatigue is a common problem for clients with leukemia. This client is managing his or her own ADLs using rest periods, which indicates an understanding of fatigue and how to control it. Helping to plan an activity schedule is a lesser indicator. Requesting a sleeping pill does not help control fatigue during the day. Asking visitors to leave when tired is another lesser indicator. Managing ADLs using rest periods demonstrates the most comprehensive management strategy.
