Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Telangiectases are single, dilated capillaries or terminal arteries that appear most often on the cheeks and nose. These lesions are more common in older adults and result from photoaged skin. The lesions look like broken veins. Nevus flammeus is a congenital vascular condition involving the capillaries. Venus lakes are small, flat, blue blood vessels. Skin tags are soft papules on a pedicle.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Patients with generalized psoriasis or with psoriasis over 30 of the body will most likely be treated with phototherapy. To avoid damage to the eyes, they will need to be shielded during the treatment and the patient can expect areas of erythema approximately eight hours after the treatment. The treatment is measured in seconds with a gradual increase in exposure times.
