[WhattoUnderstand]

Children with severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) often receive blood products. Any blood products administered to children with SCID who have T-cell deficiencies should be irradiated and cytomegalovirus-negative because of the risk of:
 
  1. Transfusion reaction from lymphocytes and platelets in the donor blood.
  2. Infection and graft-versus-host disease from lymphocytes in the donor blood.
  3. Transfusion reaction and infection from lymphocytes in the donor blood.
  4. Infection and graft-versus-host disease from erythrocytes in the donor blood.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. Lymphocytes in the donor blood are responsible for infection and graft-versus-host disease.
2. Lymphocytes in the donor blood are responsible for infection and graft-versus-host disease.
3. Lymphocytes in the donor blood are responsible for infection and graft-versus-host disease.
4. Lymphocytes in the donor blood are responsible for infection and graft-versus-host disease.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Encouraging planning in the prenatal period for the postpartal period is correct because offering realistic information and anticipatory guidance and debunking myths about the perfect mother or perfect newborn might help prevent postpartum depression.
2. Reviewing historical cases of postpartum psychosis will serve only to scare parents.
3. The importance of counseling for all postpartum mothers is not necessary, because postpartum depression only affects 730 of all postpartum women in North America.
4. Prophylactic administration of Paxil is not recommended. Treatment needs to be individualized.
