Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Coke-colored urine is hematuria that should be documented and reported to the charge nurse. The purpura will fade as they are absorbed. Boredom and smelly stools are normal for a 14-year-old.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Children with leukemia should have an annual influenza vaccine and a pneumococcal vaccine every 5 years.
