Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Men need to have a digital rectal examination of the prostate every year beginning at 50 years of age. Ca125 blood tests are indicated for women at high risk for ovarian cancer. Because this patient is a man, Ca125 is not needed. Patients over the age of 65 need to have complete eye examinations yearly. Colonoscopy every 10 years is recommended in patients 50 years of age and older.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection increases the person's risk for cervical cancer. HPV vaccine is recommended by the American Cancer Society for females aged 9 to 26 years. Vaginal discharge, painful or swollen perianal tissues, and genital lesions are signs and symptoms that may indicate a sexually transmitted infection.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
