Q: Compartment syndrome most affects: nerves, blood flow, muscles?
A: Blood flow. Compartment syndrome is a constriction of blood flow because of swelling. Think about a tight cast. The limb swells and blood flow is occluded.
If this is the skin acting as a tourniquet we might do a fasciotomy to restore vascularization as in the picture here.

Q: Who is most at risk for a latex allergy: 14 yo, 37 yo with 1 child, 57 yo health care worker, 40 yo multiple surgeries?
A: You're looking for somebody with repeated exposure to latex, Banana, Kiwi, nut allergy or spina bifida when you get latex allergy questions. The health care worker and multiple surgeries are the ones that match any of that. I'd go with the health care worker as the 'most right' answer only because of the frequency of exposure. I'd also know that it's actually the latex proteins that people react to.
