Answer to Question 1

NHL typically manifests as enlargement in one node, then one or more nodes are skipped, and then another node is affected (noncontiguous). These enlarged nodes are usually painless with NHL.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Smoking, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle are modifiable risk factors that increase risk of CAD. Race and age are nonmodifiable risk factors for heart disease.
