Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
KS is a vascular malignancy associated with immunodeficiency states and occurs among trans-plant recipients taking immunosuppressive drugs. KS is not directly related to malnourishment, exposure to hepatitis B, or being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Scleroderma can trigger Raynaud phenomenon. Scleroderma is not associated with vasculitis, cellulitis, or infection.
