Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Bone marrow failure results in a decrease in all the blood cells' elements in the bone marrow (hence it is called bone marrow failure). Because blood cells are not being produced in adequate numbers in the bone marrow to enter the peripheral blood, pancytopenia is also seen in the blood.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Aplastic anemia can be found at any age, but it is most characteristically found in young adults 10 to 25 years old, as well as in those older than 60 years.

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.
