Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The description of the lesions indicates that they are grouped. The other terms are inconsistent with the description of the lesions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Angiomas are a common occurrence as patients get older, but they may occur with systemic problems such as liver disease. The patient may want to see a dermatologist to have the angiomas removed, but this is not the initial action by the nurse. The nurse may need to teach the patient about the effects of aging on the skin and about the effects of sun exposure, but the initial action should be further assessment.
