  A) deep vein thrombosis.
  B) pathological fracture.
  C) multiple myeloma.
  D) sickle cell crisis.

Question 2

Your patient is an 86-year-old man with a cardiac history. He takes blood thinners and a beta blocker for his heart. He is quite cool to the touch and his pulse oximeter reading is 87 percent. This is concerning because you know that:
 
  A) the beta blocker can cause hypothermia in the elderly population.
  B) hypothermia causes a shift in the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve.
  C) beta blockers suppress hemoglobin leading to a decreased oxygen level.
  D) hypothermia leads to an increased risk of pulmonary embolism.
