Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
This finding is consistent with the definition of a vesicle. A nodule is an elevated solid mass, deeper and firmer than a papule, 0.5-2.0 cm. A macule is a flat, nonpalpable change in skin color, smaller than 1 cm. A wheal is an irregularly-shaped, elevated area or superficial localized edema that varies in size.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Normal mucosa in a light-skinned adult is glistening, pinkish-red, soft, moist, and smooth. Oral mucosa may appear more dry in an older adult because of reduced salivation but is not rough. Cyanotic mucosa with rough nodules would be an abnormal finding. Oral mucosa should not appear deep red with rough edges in a light-skinned adult.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
