Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The misuse of over-the-counter nasal medications irritates the mucosa, causing rebound swelling, which is a common problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The dorsal surface of the tongue is normally roughened from papillae. A thin white coating may be present. The ventral surface may show veins. Smooth, glossy areas may indicate atrophic glossitis
