Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Beau's lines can be caused by systemic illness or a nail injury.
B Paronychia can be caused by a local infection or trauma.
C Koilonychia, or spoon nail, can be caused by iron deficiency anemia.
D Splinter hemorrhages can be caused by minor trauma, endocarditis, and trichinosis.

Answer to Question 2

B
The operating suite and recovery room environments are cool. The patient's anesthetically depressed level of body function results in lowering of metabolism and a fall in body temperature. The patient being dressed in a gown and laminar flow in the surgical suite can contribute to a decrease in temperature, but the length of time required for this procedure would minimize this effect. Also, the patient in this type of case does not have a large open body cavity to contribute to heat loss.
