Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Hepcidin is a hormone and is also an acute phase protein that increases when iron levels are high. Ferritin is a form of storage iron, so hepcidin increases when ferritin is increased, not decreased.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In children who develop lead poisoning, the biggest concern is the potential for impaired mental development.
