Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Iron exhibits a diurnal variation, with levels dropping during the day; therefore it should be drawn early in the morning. Iron absorbed from a meal can falsely elevate serum iron, so a fasting specimen should be drawn.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Chronic loss of blood leads to loss of red cells and their iron content. Iron is conserved and recycled very tightly in the body. To maintain normal stores it requires that only the normal amount be lost on a daily basis. Gradually iron stores will be depleted and iron deficiency will develop.

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.
