Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, B, D

Feedback:

ACE inhibitors, arthritis, and skin trauma are all associated with psoriasis and acute episodes of the problem. Diabetes and dark skin tone are not noted to predispose to the condition.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

For individuals with lower limb injuries, there is a high risk of venous thromboemboli. Compartment syndrome normally manifests within 64 hours of injury, and muscle atrophy is not likely to be permanent. His injury and recovery are not likely to result in long-standing decreased bone density.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Did you know?

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.
