Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Oxygen administration is of limited value, because each gram of hemoglobin is able to carry a limited amount of the gas. In addition, prolonged use of supplemental oxygen can decrease erythropoiesis. Prolonged use of oxygen does not interfere with iron production, a child's appetite, or affect the synthesis of hemoglobin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Normal hematocrit (Hct) is 35 to 45.
