Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5, 6
The classical symptoms of the six P's of compartment syndrome are pain, paresthesia, paresis, pressure, pallor, and pulselessness. The pink color and paraplegia are not part of the classic P's.

Answer to Question 2

3
In most developed countries, this secondary type of liver cancer is more common than cancer that originates in the liver itself. The spleen, gallbladder, and stomach are not major sites for metastases.
