A. Dysplasia (दुर्विकसन)	1. Night blindness (रतौंधी)
B. Celiac disease (सिलियक रोग)	2. Haemorrhagic spots on skin (त्वचा पर रक्तस्त्राव के स्पाट)
C. Petechiae (पेटिचिया)	3. Intestinal malabsorption (आंतों में कुपोषण सिन्ड्रोम)
D. Nyctalopia (निक्टलोपिया)	4. Abnormal tissue growth (असामान्य ऊतक बढ़ना)

   A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4

2. B

   A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3

Explanation

• Dysplasia correctly matches with 'Abnormal tissue growth' as it describes the abnormal development of cells.
• Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition affecting the small intestine, which directly leads to 'Intestinal malabsorption', making this the correct pair.
• Petechiae are defined as small, pinpoint 'Haemorrhagic spots on skin' caused by minor capillary bleeding.
• Nyctalopia is the medical term for 'Night blindness', the inability to see in dim light.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option A: This option incorrectly matches all terms. For example, it links Dysplasia (A) with Night blindness (1) and Nyctalopia (D) with Abnormal tissue growth (4), which are incorrect definitions.
• Option B: This option provides an incorrect set of matches. For instance, it pairs Celiac disease (B) with Abnormal tissue growth (4) and Petechiae (C) with Night blindness (1).
• Option D: This option incorrectly pairs the terms. For example, it matches Dysplasia (A) with Intestinal malabsorption (3) and Celiac disease (B) with Haemorrhagic spots on skin (2).

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: Knowing Matching of medical terminology with their corresponding definitions, focusing on pathophysiology and clinical manifestations helps nurses interpret findings accurately and avoid errors in routine assessment, medication administration, and patient teaching.
• Recognizing petechiae is crucial for a nurse as they can be a sign of various conditions, from minor infections to serious hematological disorders or vitamin deficiencies (like Vitamin K deficiency, as seen in malabsorption syndromes).
• Understanding Celiac disease is vital as it requires lifelong dietary management. Nurses play a key role in patient education about a strict gluten-free diet to prevent complications like malnutrition, osteoporosis, and certain cancers.
• What if? If a patient with known Celiac disease presents with new-onset petechiae and easy bruising, the nurse should suspect a complication of malabsorption, specifically Vitamin K deficiency, and notify the physician for coagulation studies and potential supplementation.

How to Approach the Question

• First, analyze the question type. This is a 'Match the Following' question, requiring you to pair items from two lists.
• Read each term in List-I (the medical conditions) and try to recall its definition.
• Scan List-II (the definitions/descriptions) to find the best match for each term in List-I.
• Start with the term you are most confident about. For example, many students know Nyctalopia is night blindness (D-1).
• Proceed to match the other terms. Celiac disease is a well-known cause of intestinal malabsorption (B-3). Petechiae are hemorrhagic spots (C-2). Dysplasia refers to abnormal growth (A-4).
• Once you have all pairs (A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1), look for the option that contains this exact combination.
