Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Gonococcus or Chlamydia trachomatis are sexually transmitted infections that can cause pharyngitis and lymphadenopathy. Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis, which is not regarded as a sexually transmitted infection. Strep throat is pharyngitis caused by group A beta hemolytic streptococcus. Streptococcal pharyngitis is not a sexually transmitted infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most common malignancies of the head and neck are squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx, palatine tonsil, and hypopharynx. More than 80 of patients with these cancers have a history of tobacco and/or EtOH use or abuse.
