Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Pressure ulcers are ischemic ulcers resulting from unrelieved pressure, shearing forces, friction, and moisture. A high-carbohydrate diet is not a factor in development of pressure ulcers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E
Candidiasis does not affect the soles of the feet, the eyes, or the ears. It does affect the mucous membranes and the vagina.
