Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Immune globulin is not given after the disease develops.
Rationale 2: Immune globulin must be given before the disease develops.
Rationale 3: The child is immunosuppressed; administering a vaccination for chicken pox could result in developing the disease.
Rationale 4: Keeping the child away from others will not help; the child has already been exposed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: Dietary changes may significantly influence production of red blood cells.

Rationale 3: Change to dark tarry stool, red stools, or much looser stools could indicate blood loss.
Rationale 4: There is no connection between carbohydrate ingestion and anemia.
Rationale 5: Heavy menstrual flow is a leading cause of blood loss anemia in women.
