Answer to Question 1

2 bags
Feedback:
First, determine the child's weight in kilogram by dividing 22 lb by 2.2 = 10 kg. If the parents are to infuse one bag of concentrate for every 5 kg of body weight then divide the total body weight by 5 or 10 kg/5 = 2 . The child is to receive 2 bags of factor VIII to treat this injury.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The first step in therapy is to immediately ensure that the child is never exposed to the substance again. Chelation therapy is to remove excess iron from the blood and body. A high-protein diet is not indicated for this health problem. The child does not need weekly hospital visits for desensitization.
