2. What is one of the earliest signs of fat embolism syndrome?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Hypoxemia is one of the earliest signs of fat embolism syndrome. In fat embolism syndrome, fat globules enter the bloodstream and can obstruct blood flow in the lungs, leading to hypoxemia. Paresthesia, severe pain unrelieved by medication, and edema are not typically among the earliest signs of fat embolism syndrome.

3. What complication of fractures is caused by increased pressure which can result in decreased circulation to the area?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Acute compartment syndrome is the correct answer. It involves increased pressure within muscles, leading to decreased blood flow and tissue damage. Venous thromboembolism (Choice A) is a condition where a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the leg. Fat embolism syndrome (Choice C) occurs when fat globules enter the bloodstream and block blood vessels. Hemorrhage (Choice D) refers to bleeding, which can occur with fractures but does not specifically involve increased pressure leading to decreased circulation as in acute compartment syndrome.
