Answer to Question 1

2. Soy-based formula can interfere with the absorption of thyroxine.

Rationale:
Soy-based formula can interfere with the absorption of thyroxine. Dairy-based formula does not interfere with thyroxine. Frequent checks must be done to assess the baby for inadequate growth. To ensure adequate growth and development, the hormone must be taken throughout life.

Answer to Question 2

4. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CML)

Rationale:
The symptoms for CML are insidious and occur over time affecting older adults. ALL affects primarily children. AML also occurs in older clients but they will also manifest bone and joint pain with abnormal bleeding. Aplastic anemia is usually caused by a toxic agent.
