Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

NF-1 is associated with increased risk of malignant neoplasm. The lesions may be painful to the client, and the disease is an autosomal dominant disorder. Photosensitivity is not noted as a complication of type 1 neurofibromatosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

While a family history of cancer, immunosuppression, and poor diet are all associated with cancer, congenital and chromosomal abnormalities are not noted to represent an increased risk for cancer.
