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.
