Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The patient's manifestations and work history are consistent with varicose veins. Dizziness associated with the position change is a result of blood pooling in the lower extremities and reduction of cerebral circulation. The patient's manifestations and work history are not consistent with arteriosclerosis, thrombophlebitis, or peripheral aneurysms.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Discomfort is not typically aggressively or openly displayed by Chinese persons. Pain is not noted to be seen as a virtue or in a fatalistic light. Pain is not commonly overstated.
