Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is classified as a microcytic, hypochromic anemia. This classification refers to which of the following laboratory data?Hemoglobin and HematocritMean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)Serum ferritin and serum ironTotal iron binding capacity and transferrin saturationQuestion 6. When interpreting laboratory data, you would expect to see the following in a patient with Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD):Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH decreasedHemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV increased, MCH increasedHemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV normal, MCH normalHemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH increasedQuestion 7. The pathophysiological hallmark of ACD is:Depleted iron storesImpaired ability to use iron storesChronic unable bleedingReduced intestinal absorption of ironQuestion 8. The main focus of treatment of patients with ACD is:Replenishing iron storesProviding for adequate nutrition high in ironManagement of the underlying disorderAdministration of monthly vitamin B12 injectionsQuestion 9.

The first step in the genomic assessment of a patient is obtaining information regarding:Family historyEnvironmental exposuresLifestyle and behaviorsCurrent medicationsQuestion 14.In autosomal recessive (AR) disorders, individuals need:Only one mutated gene on the sex chromosomes to acquire the diseaseOnly one mutated gene to acquire the diseaseTwo mutated genes to acquire the diseaseTwo mutated genes to become carriersQuestion 15. In AR disorders, carriers have:Two mutated genes; two from one parent that cause diseaseA mutation on a sex chromosome that causes a diseaseA single gene mutation that causes the diseaseOne copy of a gene mutation but not the diseaseQuestion 16.
