Answer to Question 1

1
Keratosis are patches of horny, thickened skin associated with callus formation. Linear lesions have a band-like configuration. Serpiginous lesions are serpent shaped. Dermatomal lesions occur in the location of the dermatome supplied by one or more dorsal ganglia.

Answer to Question 2

4
A close relationship between the endocrine and nervous systems is required to allow them to control homeostasis. The short-term rapid responses by the nervous system are balanced by the long-term responses from the endocrine system. Hormones are specific and can influence other hormones. This is what the nurse should instruct the client. The other choices are incorrect and should not be included in instructions to the client.
