Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B, D

Feedback:

Normal skin changes associated with aging are seen on areas of the body that have not been exposed to the sun. They include thinning of the dermis and the epidermis, diminution in subcutaneous tissue, a decrease and thickening of blood vessels, and a decrease in the number of melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells. Hair growth is reduced. The skin becomes dry, rough, scaly, and itchy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The clinical manifestations of SLE in children reflect the extent and severity of systemic involvement. The best prognostic indicator in children is the extent of renal involvement, which is more common and more severe in children than in adults with SLE. Edema and rusty or bloody urine are classic signs of glomerulonephritis. It is expected that people/children with SLE have arthralgias/arthritis in joints, sore ligaments and tendons, as well as integumentary signs and symptoms like a rash on the nose and cheeks (butterfly rash).
