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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
