Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Patients taking antihyperlipidemic drugs should be taught to continue lifestyle changes such as low-fat diets, exercise, and weight loss while taking the drugs. Some, but not all, are best taken with food. Follow-up laboratory specimens must be drawn every 3 to 6 months and the patient should fast for at least 8 hours before the blood is taken because test results can be changed by some substances in food or fluids.

Answer to Question 2

A
Stage I of the inflammatory process involves WBC and blood vessel changes. Injured tissues and WBCs release mediators. Each mediator affects tissues differently. Some act on blood vessels, causing changes that include dilation and capillary leak. Blood plasma leaking into the tissues causes swelling and pain. Formation of exudate occurs during stage II.
