Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. Hydration and pain medication are needed in order for the child to heal.
2. Oxygenation is needed, but factor VIII is not used in Sickle Cell treatment.
3. Hydration is important, but the use of heparin will not decrease the pain.
4. The child needs a balanced electrolyte state and can be as active as possible without pain.

Answer to Question 2

B
In fetal circulation, the blood flows through a hole in the septum between the atria called the foramen ovale. The opening closes at birth.
