Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The icteric phase is manifested by jaundice, dark urine, and clay-colored stools. The liver is en-larged, smooth, and tender, and percussion causes pain. Fatigue and vomiting occur during the prodromal stage. Resolution occurs in the recovery phase. Fulminant liver failure does not involve icterus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Portal hypertension occurs secondarily to cirrhosis of the liver. Portal hypertension is not associ-ated with thrombosis of the spleen, left ventricular failure, or renal stenosis.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
