Answer to Question 1

A
Hemophilia is a life-long hereditary blood disorder with no cure. Prevention by avoiding activities that induce bleeding and by treatment is life long. The management of hemophilia is very individual and depends on the severity of the illness. Because hemophilia has an X chromosome-linked recessive inheritance, there is a risk with each pregnancy that a child will either have the disease or be a carrier.

Answer to Question 2

C
Multiple transfusions result in hemosiderosis. Deferoxamine is given to chelate iron and prevent organ damage and complications from repeated transfusions. Preparation for a bone marrow transplant would not include administration of deferoxamine.
