Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Bisphosphonates are effective inhibitors of bone resorption and the most effective agents for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. The bisphosphonates bind to hydroxyapatite and prevent bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclast activity. They are effective in reducing the risk of hip, vertebral, and nonvertebral fractures.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Late detection of malignant melanoma is associated with particularly poor outcomes. Basal cells carcinomas often have strong treatment success rates. While invasive SCC has worse outcomes than intraepidermal SCC, these are both exceeded in mortality by late-stage malignant melanoma.
