Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Antihistamines are not effective against scorpion venom.
B The wound will have intense local pain. Emergency treatment is indicated.
C Venomous species of scorpions inject venom that contains hemolysins,
endotheliolysins, and neurotoxins. The absorption of the venom is delayed by
keeping the child quiet and the involved area in dependent position.
D The wound will have intense local pain. Emergency treatment is indicated.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A Varicose veins may predispose the woman to thrombophlebitis, but are not a
sign.
B A positive Homans' sign may be caused by a strained muscle or contusion.
C Tenderness, heat, and swelling are classic signs of thrombophlebitis that appear
at the site of the inflammation.
D Edema may be more involved than pedal.
