Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C, D

Feedback:

The clinical manifestations of osteomalacia are bone pain, tenderness, and fractures as the disease progresses. In severe cases, muscle weakness often is an early sign. The person is predisposed to pathological fractures in the weakened areas, especially in the distal radius and proximal femur. Cold limb with absent pulses is caused by lack of arterial blood supply to the affected bone.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, C

Feedback:

Rubeola is highly communicable. The characteristic rash is macular and blotchy. The rash usually begins on the face and then spreads to the legs/arms (appendages). A maculopapular rash covering the trunk and spreading to the appendages is noted in roseola infantum. Varicella begins as a macular stage and then proceeds to the second stage where the rash forms vesicles with depressed centers that are filled with yellow-colored fluid. A painful rash follows a nerve root usually on only one side of the body is usually characteristic of shingles.
