Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Vitamin K is necessary for carboxylation of glutamic acid residues on the precursor prothrombin group proteins. This carboxylation results in the ability of these proteins to bind Ca2+.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The D dimer is a specific marker for thrombosis; when the assay is negative, it is useful for ruling out DVT. (A positive result does not rule in DVT because D dimers are increased in many situations.)

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
