Answer to Question 1

C
The child with DIC is seriously ill and needs to be monitored in an intensive care unit. Relaxation techniques and pain control are not high priorities for the child with DIC. The child with DIC is seriously ill and needs to be monitored in an intensive care unit. Hydration is not the major concern for the child with DIC.

Answer to Question 2

D
Prevention of injury is a priority concern for a child with ITP. Excessive fatigue is not a significant problem for the child with ITP. ITP is associated with low platelet levels. Increasing the child's intake of iron in the diet will not correct ITP.
