Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Butterfly rash on face, sensitivity to sunlight, polyarthralgias and polyarthritis are some of the main criteria leading to the diagnosis of SLE.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Direct application of heat with a foot soak can increase the circulatory demand, making the patient more uncomfortable, and lead to additional circulatory problems. Foot soaking might lead to fungal infections if the feet are not appropriately dried. Foot soaking will not improve the circulation in a patient with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. Foot soaking should not replace normal bathing.
