Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Breast tissue is normally glandular and may have a rather nodular consistency. The degree of nodularity tends to fluctuate through the menstrual cycle in premenopausal women. A dominant breast mass is a mass that persists throughout a woman's hormonal cycles, is larger and firmer than any other irregularities, and differs from rest of the breast tissue. A fibroadenoma is a soft discrete breast mass that is moveable, non-tender, and benign. Mastalgia is a condition of pain in the breast. Mastitis is an infection that causes erythema, swelling, and discharge from the breast.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Restrictive lung diseases include pulmonary disorders, such as pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and sarcoidosis, as well as extrinsic causes, such as kyphosis, scoliosis, or obesity. In all these disorders there is diminished lung capacity and decreased compliance of lung tissue.
