Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Lymph node biopsy is often used to provide a diagnosis of NHL, and radiation is a common treatment, especially in early stages of the disease. Surgery is not a noted treatment modality, and while blood work may help with staging, it is not a common source of a confirming diagnosis. Treatment options do exist, and palliative care would be premature.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Although each of the above answers is associated with fatigue and rapid heartbeat, male adolescents are particularly susceptible to iron deficiency anemia. They have high iron requirements because of growth spurts and dietary deficiencies.
