Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Severely anemic persons need to conserve their energy. Observing a rest period after a period of activity will reduce hypoxia. Oxygen may be used as necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Vasopressin is a strong vasoconstrictor given to try to stop the hemorrhage of the varices. Unfortunately it also constricts all vessels and may cause cardiac ischemia.
