Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The lesions described are grouped lesions because they appear in clusters. Annular lesions are lesions with a circular shape. Discrete lesions are separate. Confluent lesions run together.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Pallor, or paleness of the skin, may occur with hypoxia, cold environment, stress, shock, hypotension, and anemia. Cyanotic skin is blue in color; erythema is redness of the skin; and jaundiced skin has yellow undertones.
