Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Approximately 5-7 of North American Caucasians, 2 of Hispanics, and 1 of African Americans have the factor V Leiden mutation. Asians do not have this gene and are not at risk for this mutation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This woman has the manifestations of mastitis and will be treated with antibiotics and analgesics. Comfort measures include applying either warm or cold packs to the breasts. If the woman wishes to continue breastfeeding, she should empty her breasts every 2-4 hours. Elevation and menthol-based lotions are not warranted.
