Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Blood pressure is representative of the amount of resistance that the heart must overcome in order to pump blood; increased BP equates with increased resistance, or afterload. Blood pressure is not necessarily indicative of oxygen supply, the relative volumes of the venous and arterial systems or the size of the heart.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Pseudoconstipation is also referred to as perceived constipation. Overuse of suppositories and enemas is associated with this problem in which the person believes himself or herself to be constipated. Obstruction or inadequate fluid intake is associated with actual, rather than perceived, constipation. Fiber intake does not lead to pseudoconstipation.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
