Answer to Question 1

1. Measurement of height and weight
2. Assessment of skin, hair, and nails
3. Evaluation of deep tendon reflexes
5. Assessment of the musculoskeletal system

Rationale:
The nurse performing an assessment of the endocrine system should inspect the skin, nails, hair, affect, reflexes, musculoskeletal system, height, and weight. The respiratory system does not influence the endocrine system.

Answer to Question 2

3. Anemia

Rationale:
Anemia is the most common red blood cell disorder, involving a low count and decreased hemoglobin content. Polycythemia is an abnormally high RBC count. Hemolysis represents the process of RBC destruction, while erythropoiesis is the term for RBC production.
