Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Androgens, not estrogens, increase the size and productivity of the sebaceous glands and pro-mote P. acnes. Neither gonadotropins nor glucocorticoids increase the size and productivity of the sebaceous glands and promote P. acnes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Diaper dermatitis is secondarily infected with Candida albicans, not Streptococcus, Proteus, or Staphylococcus aureus.
