Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An elevated reticulocyte count is seen after acute blood loss, acute hemolysis, and after successful patient response to iron therapy. It is not observed in an aplastic crisis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When red cells are destroyed in the circulation, hemoglobin is released into plasma. Haptoglobin binds the free hemoglobin and thus decreases in plasma. This is specific for intravascular hemolysis.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
