Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Three pathologic factors, called Virchow's triad, are associated with thrombophlebitis: stasis of blood, vessel damage, and increased blood coagulability. Blood does not pool in the vessel; it is restricted. Systemic blood pressure elevation is not a mechanism of this problem.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The prognosis for thromboangiitis obliterans depends significantly on the patient's ability and willingness to stop smoking. With smoking cessation and good foot care, the prognosis for saving the extremities is good, even though no cure is available.
