Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patches are larger flat areas of the skin. The information provided does not indicate a mole or the presence of erythema.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Rashes limited to skinfold areas (e.g., on the axillae, beneath the breasts, in the groin) may reflect problems related to excessive moisture. The client needs to keep the area dry; one option is to use powder. Good hygiene is important, but the rash does not need an antibacterial soap. Fluid overload and breast cancer are not related to rashes in skinfolds.
