Question 2 of 5
Which of the following does the nurse implement as the most important measure in preventing transmission of harmful pathogens to patients with depressed bone marrow function?

Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is a characteristic feature of hemophilia?
Correct Answer: A

Question 4 of 5
The patient, age 28, is admitted with complaints of nausea, sore tongue, tingling of the hands, and difficulty swallowing. Upon examination, her tongue is erythematous. What diagnostic procedure will support this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Schilling test assesses vitamin B12 absorption, supporting a diagnosis of pernicious anemia, which matches the symptoms of nausea, sore red tongue, and neurological issues.
Question 5 of 5
An 18-year-old male is taking Hydroxyurea for treatment of sickle cell anemia. Which options below indicate this medication is working successfully?
Correct Answer: C,D
