Answer to Question 1

C
A layer in the epidermis contains highly specialized cells called melanocytes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Hispanic elders often emphasize the role of spirituality in both the etiology and treatment of disease. Nursing home admissions are proportionately low and while health and illness are often seen as the actions of God, this does not translate into a rejection of treatment. The family is likely to play a central role in care planning and recovery.
