Answer to Question 1

D
When a thrombus develops in a coronary artery and blocks the blood supply to a part of the heart muscle, a heart attack (myocardial infarction) occurs. Cerebrovascular accident (stroke) occurs when a thrombus blocks an artery in the brain. Deep vein thrombosis occurs when a clot blocks a deep vein, such as a leg vein. Pulmonary embolus occurs when an embolus blocks blood flow in an artery in the lungs.

Answer to Question 2

A
Topical corticosteroid use usually has no systemic effects. The skin exposed to the topical corticosteroid becomes thinner and more fragile, especially in an older adult. This area is at greater risk for injury and loss of integrity.
