Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The basophils have granules that contain heparin, an anticoagulant; histamine, a vasodilator; and other mediators of inflammation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

It would be unusual to note decreased levels of erythropoietin concurrent with a diagnosis of anemia. Decreased MCV, hematocrit, and hemoglobin are congruent with the diagnosis, as are microcytic, hypochromic erythrocytes.
