Mary is 15 years old and has just joined her high school swim team. after the first three months of training and competing, her coach sends the team for mandatory physical examinations and routine blood tests. when mary got home, she told her mom that she has sports anemia. why shouldn’t mary begin taking iron supplements as a way to treat this condition?

Marian recently made the decision to try to re-wallpaper her own kitchen—which was a mistake given her personality! to compound the mistake, she selected a complex wallpaper pattern that included flowers and trees. each time she put one strip of paper on the wall, she became increasingly upset if there was not a perfect match from the pattern of one strip to the next. if one flower was off by as much as one-tenth of an inch, she would tear down the strip, remove the excess paste, and try again with the next strip. over eight hours after she started this job, she has only succeeded at putting up six strips of wallpaper, which covered about 10 percent of the room in which she was working. marian may suffer from personality disorder.
