Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The first dose of muromonab-CD3 can cause fever, chills, chest tightness, wheezing, nausea, and vomiting. Cough and hyperkalemia are associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Photosensitivity and GI upset are often associated with diuretics. Urinary retention and decreased appetite are associated with imipramine.

Answer to Question 2

For a school-age child, typically 500 to 1,000 mL of enema solution is given. For an infant, 250 mL or less is used; for a toddler or preschooler, 250 to 500 mL is used.
