Answer to Question 1

C
Malignant neoplasms form irregularly shaped masses that have fingerlike projections. Because of their rapid growth, cancer cells often spread from an initial site to other parts of the body via the blood or lymph systems; this spread is known as metastasis and its progress depends on the type of cancer.

Answer to Question 2

B
An oral temperature may be taken in most children 6 years of age or older, including adolescents. The procedure is the same as for adults.
