Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Glucocorticoid excess inhibits fibroblasts, resulting in loss of collagen and connective tissue. Thinning of skin, poor wound healing, and frequent skin infections result. Macrophage activity is not a related action. Increased cortisol affects protein synthesis, causing delayed wound healing, and inhibits collagen formation, which results in epidermal atrophy, further inhibiting resistance to infection. Impaired blood flow to edematous tissue results in altered cellular nutrition, which increases the potential for infection.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Adrenoleukodystroph y is an X-linked disorder characterized by an accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in the adrenal cortex, testes, brain, and spinal cord. It is not an autoimmune disorder, is not caused by anticoagulant therapy, and is not treated with surgery.
