Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The NHL subtypes of mature B-cell lymphoma may affect the lymph nodes, spleen, or bone marrow. It is not a type of Hodgkin lymphoma, and Reed-Sternberg cells would indicate Hodgkin lymphoma. It is not self-limiting and necessitates active treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

B lymphocytes all of which have receptors for the EBV that causes mononucleosis. Infection of the B cells may take one of two formsit may kill the infected B cell, or it may become incorporated into its genome. Lysis of neutrophils or inhibition of white cell maturation or differentiation is not a central component of mononucleosis etiology.
