Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
A, B, and C are all associated with conductive hearing loss. Age-related hearing impairment, or presbycusis, is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Excessive and loud noise can cause noise-induced hearing loss, which is also a common type of sensorineural hearing loss.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A slightly raised multicolor lesion with an asymmetrical irregular border is characteristic of mela-noma that accounts for less than 5 of skin cancer cases, but it causes most skin cancer deaths. A firm, irregularly-shaped, pink-colored nodule or persistent red lesion is characteristic of squamous cell carcinoma. A pearly papule with prominent blood vessels is a characteristic of a basal cell carcinoma. A tender, rough, scaly, sandpaper-like patch is a characteristic of actinic keratoses (a precancerous lesion).
