Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: The mother should be instructed to offer foods high in protein and calories and to give vitamin and mineral supplements if prescribed. Milk, juice, and water should be adminis-tered to the child after meals because children can fill up on liquids before eating. If mouth sores are present, offer the child a Popsicle to lick, or ice before meals, to numb the mouth. Salty or spicy foods should be avoided because they irritate mouth sores. The child should be weighed each morning, and calorie intake should be reviewed every 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: Asparaginase is indicated for the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia. Lung cancer, breast cancer, and metastatic prostate cancer are treated with other antineoplastic agents.
