Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Men (i.e., male adults) should have a diet adequate to meet their folate requirements. Patients on chemotherapy often are given drugs that interfere with DNA metabolism, and so they require more folate. Pregnant women have an increased need to support the growing fetus, as do infants and children, especially during growth spurts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A macrocytic, not microcytic, anemia is associated with folate deficiency. All the other conditions or problems listed can be seen in this deficiency.
