Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The donor patient is taken to the OR and placed under general or spinal anesthesia. The surgeon can aspirate 500 to 700 mL of bone marrow from multiple sites such as the iliac crests and sternum.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
The endogenous Cimino-Brescia arteriovenous fistula is established internally at the wrist by anastomosis between the radial artery and cephalic vein. This method has the longest functional life of dialysis methods with fewer infections and thrombotic events.
