Answer to Question 1

C, A, B, E, D
Feedback:
Obesity can underlie this problem. Poor venous return and congestion that result lead to edema of the lower extremities, which leads to poor tissue nutrition. As the poorly nourished legs accumulate debris, inadequately carried away with the venous return, the legs gain a pigmented, cracked, and exudative appearance. Stasis dermatitis, an inflammatory condition associated with chronic venous insufficiency, can result. Subsequent scratching, irritation, or other trauma (which can result from tight elastic-band stockings) that occurs with stasis dermatitis can then easily lead to the formation of stasis ulcers.
