Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Ultraviolet light exposure greatly increases risk of skin cancer, both basal cell and melanoma types. While direct sunshine contains ultraviolet light, the amount is decreased in indirect light. The use of sunscreen can reduce the risk of cancer but not prevent it, especially in tanning beds where the ultraviolet light is intensified. That using tanning beds without clothing causes infection may or may not be true, depending on the disinfectant methods used.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The polysomnogram records biophysiologic parameters such as brain waves and eye movements during sleep. The multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) occurs 2 hours after awakening from the overnight sleep study. Nap trials are part of the MSLT. The polysomnogram does not require a 24-hour sleep deprivation.
