Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A pedicle flap's tissue remains attached at one or both ends of the donor site during transfer to the recipient site. The vascular supply is maintained from the vessels preserved in the pedicle of the donor site.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Aspirin has an anticoagulant effect that can affect bleeding and cause a hematoma. Smoking causes vasoconstriction that can affect wound healing and cause tissue necrosis.
