Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Acne is a self-limiting inflammatory disease that involves the sebaceous glands, which empty into hair shafts. One cause for the development of acne is an increase in androgen levels, which cause sebaceous glands to become active. Acne is not caused by thyroid gland secretions. Acne does not develop because of poor personal hygiene; although, poor hygiene can make acne worse. Acne is not caused by a vitamin deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
To discourage use of tobacco by school-age children, parents need to be role models of excellent nonsmoking health behavior in hopes children will follow their good example. Explaining that smoking costs money might not make an impact on a school-age child's decision to start smoking. Discussing other tobacco choices is inappropriate because smokeless tobacco also has associated health risks. The child should be encouraged to refrain from smoking throughout life.
