Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This condition is known as glossitis, and is characteristic of B12 anemia. If the anemia is a pernicious anemia, it is treated with cobalamin. Genetic testing is not a priority for this condition. The client does not need high-fiber foods or protective precautions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This client has manifestations of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Enoxaparin, salicylates, and warfarin do not cause this condition.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
