Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Venous stasis, decreased intravascular volume contributing to a hypercoagulable state, and pressure from the mattress that compresses the veins are elements of Virchow risk triad for thromboembolic disease. Increased heart rate is less likely to contribute to DVT.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Amphetamines such as ecstasy can induce hyperthermia by increasing peripheral vasoconstriction. They are not associated with direct hypothalamic effect, pyrogenic effect, or an immune response.
