Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
This child needs two IV sites or a multi-lumen IV catheter. Ideally this would have been done prior to starting the transfusion, but at this point the best option is to start another IV to administer the antibiotic. Other than normal saline, nothing can be run with blood. If there is no way to obtain another IV site, the nurse and provider would determine which was the priority. Blood transfusions should not be interrupted due to the chance of contamination and the need for strict adherence to the timeframe in which it is administered.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Neupogen is a colony-stimulating factor that stimulates the bone marrow to make more white blood cells. The other answers are incorrect.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
