Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A cerebrospinal fluid shunt treats hydrocephalus. A laminectomy treats compression on a spinal nerve. A carotid endarterectomy clears blockages from the carotids. A nerve block is used to stop the passage of sensory or pain impulses along a nerve path.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: A thrombolytic dissolves an existing clot. A hematinic increases the number of erythrocytes or hemoglobin in the blood. An anticoagulant prevents blood clot formation. An antiplatelet interferes with the action of platelets.
