Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
For a 4-year-old, normally eosinophils range from 0 to 3; therefore, a result of 10 would be abnormal and a cause for concern. Bands of 8, segs of 28, and basophils of 0 are normal values for this age.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Intravenous immune globulin would be used to treat idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Folic acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency anemia. Dimercaprol is used to remove lead from the soft tissue and bone to allow for excretion by the kidneys. Deferoxamine is used to treat iron toxicity.
