Answer to Question 1

1, 2
Feedback
1. The location of the urethral meatus has a risk of laceration during a circumcision, thus creating damage to the urethral opening.
2. The damage to the urethral meatus will cause intense bleeding and require significant repair.
3. The circumcision is not an option for this child because of the further damage that could occur to the urethral meatus.
4. A circumcision should not be done after the repair because of the risk for further damage.
Many males are not circumcised, and this should be discussed with the mother.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4, 5
Feedback
1. This type of dialysis is more invasive than what the patient will need to treat this disease.

3. A blood transfusion may be needed because the patient is at risk for anemia.
4. The patient is at risk for seizures, so preventative measures may be needed.
5. Close monitoring of blood pressure is required because of the vascular changes which occur with the disease.
