Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Ringworm, or tinea, has a fungal etiology. Parasites, allergies, and immunizations would be unlikely to relate directly to the etiology.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Current treatment guidelines for RA involve early and aggressive pharmacological treatment, including NSAIDs and corticosteroids. Damage cannot be reversed, and while therapeutic exercise plays a role in treatment, rest is also important.
