Answer to Question 1

A
Areas of phlebitis are warm, edematous, and red.

Answer to Question 2

B
Lactose, primarily found in milk, is a common source of food intolerance. Dairy products are an important source of calcium, which is needed to prevent osteoporosis. Lactose-intolerant individuals need to replace milk with cheese and yogurt, which are processed and digested more easily.
