Answer to Question 1

C
Syphilis has three stages. The chancre, or painless, hard nodule, is visible in the primary stage of syphilis and disappears within a few weeks. The secondary stage occurs approximately 6 weeks later; symptoms may include a generalized skin rash. In tertiary syphilis, spirochetes access to all body tissues and a gumma (a soft encapsulated tumor) may appear on any organ.

Answer to Question 2

A
The formula to calculate BMI is: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (68.1 kilograms  3.24 meters = 21.0).
