Answer to Question 1

B
These spots are more common in the African American neonatal population. These spots are normal. They are not related to AB blood type, rubella titer, or sickle cell trait.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because the menopausal woman cannot schedule her breast self-exam according to her period, she needs to perform it the same day each month. Breast self-exams should be done on the same day every month. The risk of breast cancer increases after the age of 40 and into the menopausal years.
