Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Most people, upon feeling ill, will rely on self-treatment or do nothing to see how the symptoms develop or disappear.
2. Ingesting herbs specific to the symptoms is not a general practice among all people. Cultures that rely heavily on herbal agents for health use them after consultation regarding symptoms.
3. Faith healers are not part of mainstream health culture, and for those cultures that have faith healers, they are not consulted immediately when someone feels ill.
4. Medical attention is generally not immediately sought when a person feels ill.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Acute myeloid leukemia has presenting symptoms that are diagnosed and treated. Depending on the type diagnosed, treatment and ultimate resolution vary.
2. Not all acute myeloid leukemia variants result in a person being acutely ill, with an unstable status leading to deterioration and ultimately recovery.
3. After acute myeloid leukemia is diagnosed, treatment is given. Many treatments do result in an unstable status or death. The trajectory for AML is dependent upon many other factors.
4. Acute myeloid leukemia has presenting symptoms, but before treatment occurs, the particular type of leukemia must be determined, as treatment is specific to the type of leukemia.
