Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: The pregnant women with HIV infection will be prescribed oral AZT in the fourteenth week of gestation. Before this time, the fetus is at risk because of the teratogenic effects of the medication. In addition, a bolus of AZT is given intravenously during labor, and the neonate is treated for six weeks after birth.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Clinical manifestations of iron deficiency anemia will vary with the degree of anemia but usually include extreme pallor with a porcelain-like skin, tachycardia, lethargy, and irritabil-ity.
