Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Sinuses lighten the skull, assist in speech, and produce mucus that drains into the nasal cavities to help trap debris. Sneezing and coughing do not affect speech. There is no evidence that the patient has a fever.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 4
Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) may be given to people with mild hemophilia A or von Willebrand disease prior to minor surgeries. This medication is not used to treat mononucleosis, iron deficiency anemia, or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
