Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
Photochemotherapy can accelerate aging of exposed skin, induce cataract development, alter immune function, and increase the risk of melanoma. It has a high success rate in achieving remission of psoriasis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The patient should be instructed on the use of a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. It is unrealistic to instruct a patient to always avoid the sun. The hours of 10:00 am to 3:00 pm are the worst for sun exposure. Sunscreen is needed even on cloudy days.
