Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 18.7

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
Patients with polycythemia benefit from periodic phlebotomy to keep blood volume and viscosity within normal levels. Chemotherapeutic agents such as hydroxyurea may be used to suppress marrow function. Pruritus may be relieved with antihistamines. One 325-mg aspirin tablet daily may be ordered to control thrombosis without increasing the risk of bleeding. Antibiotics are not indicated in the treatment of polycythemia vera.
