Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

It is apparent that genetics play a role in autoimmune disorders because a higher incidence is seen in family members of people with these disorders. More than one genetic change is likely occurring to cause development of the disorders. There is no information linking estrogen to the development of an autoimmune disorder. Stress is not the only cause of the disorder. Limiting physical activity will not prevent the onset of the disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

An autograft, a transplant of the patient's own tissue, is the most successful type of tissue transplant. A skin graft is an example of an autograft. Evidence of immediate cyanosis describes hyperacute tissue rejection. Acute tissue rejection occurs within 3 to 4 months and is not typically seen with a skin graft. Chronic tissue rejection occurs from 4 months to years after the transplant and is not typically seen with a skin graft.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
