Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Tobacco and/or EtOH use or abuse are the biggest risk factors for malignancies of the head and neck.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In systemic lupus erythematosus, the patient will have a range of symptoms relevant to the diagnosis, depending on the affected organs. There is often coexisting arthralgia and malaise. The rash is macular and erythematous. It is described as a butterfly rash because the distribution resembles a butterfly's wings overlying the forehead and cheeks.
