Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia are decreased erythrocyte life span, failure of mecha-nisms of compensatory erythropoiesis, or disturbance of the iron cycle. Increased metabolic rate and swelling of tissues does not lead to anemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
At the time of diagnosis, the individual commonly presents with the classic group of symptoms: fever, sore throat, cervical lymph node enlargement, and fatigue; generalized lymph node en-largement also may develop, as well as enlargement of the spleen and liver.
