Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A This is an acceptable volume to inject; however, it is not the maximum.
B The maximum volume of medication for an intramuscular injection to a neonate
is 1.0 mL.
C This volume is appropriate for an intramuscular injection to an infant or older
child, not a neonate.
D This volume is not appropriate for a neonate.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
Feedback
Correct The results of the complete blood count in a child with iron-deficiency
anemia will show low hemoglobin levels (6 to 11 g/dL) and microcytic,
hypochromic RBCs; this manifests as decreased MCV and decreased mean
cell hemoglobin. The reticulocyte count is usually slightly elevated or
normal.
Incorrect The reticulocyte count is usually slightly elevated or normal, and mean cell
volume levels are decreased, not increased.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
