Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Treatment options for ITP include WinRho, IV immune gamma globulin (IVIG), platelet transfusion in case of a life-threatening condition, and steroids. Whole blood is not transfused. If the child experiences a severe hemolytic anemia secondary to the WinRho, packed red blood cells might be considered, but usually this is a rapidly improving condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Signs of moderate anemia include decreased activity, irritability or listlessness, tachycardia, systolic heart murmur, irritability, fatigue, delayed motor development, hepatomegaly, and congestive heart failure. Pale skin can be seen in both mild and moderate anemia.
