Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient should be taught to use an electric shaver. Thrombocytopenia is a reduction in the number of circulating platelets, due to the depression of the bone marrow. When the platelet count is less than 20,000/mm3, spontaneous bleeding can occur.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
