Answer to Question 1

A
Posttest counseling should include reviewing transmission, prevention, and risk reduction with the client. The client's test was negative and does not require medications or knowledge of symptoms. In addition, there is no need for further follow-up.

Answer to Question 2

C
Leukemia is classified as either acute or chronic. Acute leukemia can be further classified as acute myelogenous (AML) or acute lymphocytic (ALL). These conditions have a rapid onset, presenting with bruising and recurrent infections. ALL occurs most frequently in children from 2 to 6 years of age, whereas AML occurs most frequently in adolescence and after age 55.
