Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This condition is known as glossitis, and is characteristic of B12 anemia. If the anemia is a pernicious anemia, it is treated with cobalamin. Genetic testing is not a priority for this condition. The client does not need high-fiber foods or protective precautions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This client has manifestations of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Enoxaparin, salicylates, and warfarin do not cause this condition.
