Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Sebaceous glands produce oil. Oily skin is common in adolescents and young adults. Oily skin may be a normal finding, or it may accompany a skin disorder such as acne vulgaris. Acne is not caused by blocked endocrine, exocrine, or ceruminous glands.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
A dark spot on the arm that tends to bleed may be skin cancer. Risk factors for skin cancer include being male, extended exposure to sunlight, and having light-colored hair and eyes. A family history of COPD or cardiac disease is not a risk factor for skin cancer and would likely not manifest as a dark spot on the arm that is growing and tends to bleed.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
