Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 4
Familial links are noted for the development of prostate cancer. Smoking is also identified as a risk for the development of prostate cancer. Masturbation, the frequency of sexual intercourse, and the incidence of urinary tract infections is not associated with the development of prostate cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 4
Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer in males between the ages of 20 and 34. Self-examinations should begin in adolescence and continue throughout adulthood. Populations of the target subjects would be available in colleges and high schools. Elementary school students are too young for this level of education. The educational process should begin before a male reaches advanced age.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
