Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

While fever, enlarged lymph nodes, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and leukocytosis would suggest mononucleosis, adventitious lung sounds are not associated with the disease.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Cutaneous bleeding is seen as pinpoint hemorrhages and purple areas of bruising in dependent areas where the capillary pressure is higher. There is no indication that the patient has experienced trauma to the area or is morbidly obese. Plasminogen helps with clot dissolution.
