Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Children with hemophilia should be encouraged to participate in noncontact sports activities. Bicycling is an excellent option and is recommended along with swimming. The child should always use kneepads, elbow pads, and a helmet when participating in a physical sport. Participating only in the social aspects of the club would not encourage physical activity. Discouraging a child from joining a club would not foster growth and development.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Families require support in dealing with a child who has a life-threatening disease. They should be referred to support groups for counseling, if indicated, and to social services. The support will be long term in nature. Aplastic anemia is not a genetically transmitted disease. Nutrition counseling is not a priority and may or may not be needed with aplastic anemia.
