Answer to Question 1

ANS: a, b, c
Lesbians have higher rates of smoking, alcohol use, and obesity. They are also less likely to follow the recommended frequency of health screening tests. These behaviors place a woman at higher risk for breast and gynecological cancers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: a, b, d
Answers a, b, and d are true statements. A T-score is a comparison of the woman's bone density with that of a woman 30 years of age and the same race.
