Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Physical discomfort or pain, especially from osteoarthritis and focused in the hips, often disrupts the sleep of older persons. The client is taking his prescribed antidepressant medication Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride) appropriately because it has a stimulant effect and should be taken in the morning. A short walk in the morning is an appropriate type and timed exercise. Caffeine intake of one morning cup of coffee should have little interference with sleeping during the night.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Basal cell carcinoma often presents as a small, fleshy bump. Squamous cell carcinoma most often appears as a flesh-colored, erythematous, indurated scaly plaque. Malignant melanoma manifests as black, brown, or multicolored nodules or plaques. Actinic keratosis is a precancerous condition. The lesion appears as a sore, rough, scaly plaque.
