Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, C, E

Glossitis, inflammation of the tongue that may cause the tongue and lips to turn red, and cheilosis (fissures or cracks at the corners of the mouth) may occur with nutritional deficiencies of iron, folate, and vitamin B12. Client education should include monitoring the condition of lips and tongue daily and providing frequent oral hygiene with a soft-bristle toothbrush or sponge. The client should not use an alcohol-based mouthwash, as this would worsen the glossitis. The client should use a petroleum-based lubricating jelly or ointment to the lips after oral care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The pathophysiological mechanisms of anemia include altered hemoglobin synthesis, altered DNA synthesis, bone marrow failure, and increased hemolysis. Altered hemoglobin synthesis is the mechanism involved in iron deficiency anemia, Thalassemia, and chronic inflammation. Altered DNA synthesis is the mechanism involved in Vitamin B12 malabsorption or deficiency, and folic acid malabsorption or deficiency. Bone marrow failure is the mechanism in aplastic anemia, red cell aplasia, myeloproliferative leukemias, and lymphomas.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
