Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Plan diversional activities that promote rest but prevent boredom and withdrawal. Because short attention span, irritability, and restlessness are common in anemia and increase stress demands on the body, plan appropriate activities such as playing board or card games. Playing a musical instrument, participating in a game of table tennis, or decorating the hospital room would cause undue exertion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Normal hemoglobin (Hgb) determination is 11.5 to 15.5 g/dl.
