Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Risk factors for NHL include immunosuppressive drug therapy, pesticide exposure, and age greater than 60 years. The Helicobacter pylori bacteria associated with gastric ulcers and viruses such as HIV, hepatitis C, and Epstein-Barr are considered risk factors for NHL.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Parents should assign household chores and responsibilities to children with special needs, to develop a sense of accomplishment. When the child is admitted to the hospital, the nurse should ask the family their typical way of carrying out a procedure. The nurse should also assist the family to set realistic short-term goals, and discourage overprotectiveness, which may impede the child's physical and psychosocial development.
