Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Predisposing factors for breast cancer in the male population include radiation exposure, cirrhosis, estrogen medications, and a history of breast cancer in primary female relatives. Taking testosterone and kidney disease are not predisposing factors for male breast cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Colostrum is a form of milk produced by the mammary glands toward the end of pregnancy, and it is normal for some to leak from the nipples. Its appearance is a thick yellow discharge. The other options are not a normal occurrence at the end of a pregnancy.
