  9. A *Rationale: By testing through blood smear DHF will be confirmed. The rest diagnostic procedures are not relevant to the confirmation process of this said disease.
  10. A *Rationale: Thrombocytosis is not a manifestation of DHF instead there is depletion of thrombocytes in the system referring to as thrombocytopenia; which can be evidenced by the prolonged bleeding time and petechial rashes.
  11. C *Rationale: Options A and B refer to what you should ask for during assessment, but what you really need to look for is if the child is lethargic – which is a danger sign.
