Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 6
Angina pain is typically described as pressure, heavy, squeezing, and it is demonstrated by placing a clenched fist over the sternum. This hand posture is referred to as Levine's sign which is the universal sign for angina. Angina pain is not stabbing or sharp.

Answer to Question 2

1
Destruction of the bone leads to elevated calcium levels. The other electrolyte imbalances are not characteristic of multiple myeloma.
