Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should emphasize consulting a healthcare provider if changes in moles occur. These include any changes in size, shape, color, flaking, bleeding, sudden elevation, hair growth, or sudden itching or burning. Midday sun rays are most harmful and should be avoided, not early morning sunlight. Sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 should be used. The use of sunlamps and tanning beds instead of direct sunlight should be avoided, because premature aging of the skin and subsequent development of skin cancer is associated with UVA rays of the sun and the bulbs in tanning salons.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Trichomonas vaginalis causes vaginal infections in women and urinary tract infections in men. It is often transmitted from an infected individual to an uninfected partner by sexual intercourse, not contaminated water. Malaria has resistant strains.
