Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Nutritional anemia occurs due to the lack of proteins, folic acid, and iron. Deficiencies in vitamin B1 and zinc do not result in anemia.

Answer to Question 2

B
The standard of care utilizes slow, gentle pressure. The nurse should stop the flush if resistance is met. Resistance may indicate a clot and force would break the clot loose. Aspiration is not ne-cessary.
