The nurse analyzes the laboratory results of a child with
hemophilia. The nurse understands that which result will most
likely be abnormal in this child?
1.
Platelet count
2.
Hematocrit level
3.
Hemoglobin level
,4.
Partial thromboplastin time - Answer: 4.
Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders resulting
from a deficiency of specific coagulation proteins. Results of
tests that measure platelet function are normal; results of tests
that measure clotting factor function may be abnormal.
Abnormal laboratory results in hemophilia indicate a prolonged
partial thromboplastin time. The platelet count, hemoglobin
level, and hematocrit level are normal in hemophilia.
The nurse is providing home care instructions to the parents of a
10-year-old child with hemophilia. Which sport activity should
the nurse suggest for this child?
1.
Soccer
2.
Basketball

Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders resulting
from a deficiency of specific coagulation proteins. Children with
hemophilia need to avoid contact sports and to take precautions

sports. The safe activity for them is swimming.
The nursing student is presenting a clinical conference and
discusses the cause of β-thalassemia. The nursing student
informs the group that a child at greatest risk of developing this
disorder is which of these?
1.
A child of Mexican descent
2.
A child of Mediterranean descent
3.
, A child whose intake of iron is extremely poor
4.
A breast-fed child of a mother with chronic anemia - Answer: 2.
β-Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized
by the reduced production of 1 of the globin chains in the
synthesis of hemoglobin (both parents must be carriers to
produce a child with β-thalassemia major). This disorder is found
primarily in individuals of Mediterranean descent. Options 1, 3,
and 4 are incorrect.
A child with β-thalassemia is receiving long-term blood
transfusion therapy for the treatment of the disorder. Chelation
therapy is prescribed as a result of too much iron from the
transfusions. Which medication should the nurse anticipate to
be prescribed?
1.
Fragmin
2.
