Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Analgesics are a common and appropriate treatment for OA, and it would be unnecessary and inappropriate to forego pain control in order to maximize pain signals from affected joints. Weight loss, the use of assistive devices, and muscle-strengthening exercises are appropriate treatments for OA.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

A rash is a temporary eruption of the skin that can result in excoriation or lichenization if rubbed or scratched excessively. Corns, calluses, and blisters are not noted to share these characteristics.
