Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The rash over the nose and cheeks is sometimes called a butterfly rash and is classic for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). While fibromyalgia, Lyme's disease, and gout share some symptoms of SLE, they do not cause a rash over the nose and cheeks.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Pregnancy can be associated with an exacerbation of SLE due to the rise of estrogen levels. Hypotension, fever, and GI upset are not factors that risk exacerbation of SLE.
