Answer to Question 1

C
The patient's clinical manifestations correlate with deep vein thrombosis, and enoxaparin is in-dicated for the treatment of established DVT.
Aspirin is used to prevent arterial thrombosis.
Clopidogrel is indicated for prevention of stenosis of coronary stents and secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic strokes.
Bivalirudin is indicated for patients with unstable angina who are undergoing coronary angiop-lasty.

Answer to Question 2

A
A major depressive episode may manifest as hypersomnia or insomnia; these patients also take no pleasure or interest in their usual activities or pastimes.
Feeling emotional once a month may be premenstrual syndrome and is not indicative of major depression.
Asking a sister to assist at home is a positive action and not indicative of major depression.
Being a loner is not problematic, especially when the person is interested in other pastimes; therefore, this is not indicative of major depression.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
