Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Appearance of a new mole or a change in the size or shape of an existing mole can be indicative of malignant melanoma. Decreased sebaceous gland secretions, skin tags, and keratoses are normal age-related changes.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B, D

Feedback:

Treatment of hyperuricemia is aimed at maintaining normal uric acid levels and is lifelong. One method is to reduce hyperuricemia through the use of allopurinol. Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme needed for the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid as does a newer medication, Febuxostat. The uricosuric drugs (sulfinpyrazone) prevent tubular reabsorption of urate and increase its excretion in the urine. NSAIDs, not Tylenol, are usually prescribed for the pain. Calcium does not play a factor in gout. Sevelamer (Renagel), to reduce the absorption of Phosphate, is primarily used in renal failure patients.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
