Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: A family with a history of leukemia might find cord-blood banking useful because cord blood, like bone marrow and embryonic tissue, contains regenerative stem cells, which can replace diseased cells in the affected individual.
Rationale 2: A family with a history of infertility would not be helped by cord-blood banking.
Rationale 3: A family that wishes to select the sex of a future child would not be helped by cord-blood banking.
Rationale 4: A family that wishes to avoid a future intrauterine surgery would not be helped by cord-blood banking.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Following application of Ilotycin ointment, the eyelids should be massaged gently to distribute the ointment evenly.
Rationale 2: The eyes should not be irrigated before or after instillation.
Rationale 3: The ointment is not applied with a syringe. The nurse squeezes the tube to instill the ointment into the lower conjunctival sac of each eye.
Rationale 4: The eyes should not be irrigated before or after instillation.
