Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) Correct Rhin/o- means nose and -phyma means growth; tumor.
B) Upper respiratory infection (URI) may make the nose red, but there is no hypertrophy.
C) Sinusitis affects the sinuses, not the nose.
D) Epistaxis is a nosebleed, not hypertrophy of the nose.

Answer to Question 2

Mohs' surgery is done to remove skin cancer, particularly tumors with irregular shapes and depths. An operating microscope is used during surgery to examine each layer of tissue removed until all of the cancer is removed.
