Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
The occupations of coal mining, metal working, plumbing, and textile work produce exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known carcinogens. Electricians do not have this risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C
The UAP can apply warm compresses and offer fluids. Massaging salivary glands can be done, but not by the UAP. Lemon-glycerin swabs are drying and should not be used. Speaking has no effect on this condition.
