Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and DIC are all examples of MAHAs. An antibody against platelets causes immune thrombocytopenia purpura, and only the platelet count is affected. No anemia exists unless the patient is bleeding because of the low platelet count; if the bleeding is occult, then this eventually could result in iron deficiency anemia but not MAHA.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is an acquired disorder that can be shown to be clonal in nature. Some patients have two populations of red cells: (1) normal and (2) defective.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
