Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Melasma is a condition caused by hormonal influences on melanin production and is noted by the appearance of blotchy brown macules across the cheeks and forehead. Skin that is uniformly dark in color describes vitiligo. Very pale skin with little pigmentation and patches of skin that have loss of pigmentation refer to normal variations in skin color.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: A laissez-faire leader assumes a passive, nondirective approach. Does the manager facilitate decision making by the group? describes a democratic leader. This type of leader is a talk with the members type of leader to gain input and facilitate decision making by the group. Does the manager maintain control and make all decisions? describes an autocratic leader; this type of leader would make the decisions. Does the manager change style according to the needs of the group? describes a situational leader; this is seen when a manager indicates that for some situations, the manager decides, but for other situations, the staff nurses decide.
