Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The older adult client has had more years of living to increase the risk of skin cancer from exposure to the sun. In addition, the farmer wears a cap, but no mention is made of protectant sunscreens or long-sleeved shirts and pants. The lifeguard, baby, and teenager have lesser risk because there are physical barriers to the sun identified in each option: sunscreen, umbrella, and ski outfit.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, D, E

Malignant neoplasms are invasive, noncohesive, characterized by rapid growth, and not always easy to remove. They do not stop at the tissue border but invade and destroy surrounding tissues, metastasize to distant sites, and can recur. Benign neoplasms are local, cohesive, encapsulated, characterized by slow growth, and easily removed. They have well-defined borders, push other tissues out of the way, and do not recur.
