Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Men (i.e., male adults) should have a diet adequate to meet their folate requirements. Patients on chemotherapy often are given drugs that interfere with DNA metabolism, and so they require more folate. Pregnant women have an increased need to support the growing fetus, as do infants and children, especially during growth spurts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A macrocytic, not microcytic, anemia is associated with folate deficiency. All the other conditions or problems listed can be seen in this deficiency.

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.
