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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
