Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
A, B, and C are all associated with conductive hearing loss. Age-related hearing impairment, or presbycusis, is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Excessive and loud noise can cause noise-induced hearing loss, which is also a common type of sensorineural hearing loss.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A slightly raised multicolor lesion with an asymmetrical irregular border is characteristic of mela-noma that accounts for less than 5 of skin cancer cases, but it causes most skin cancer deaths. A firm, irregularly-shaped, pink-colored nodule or persistent red lesion is characteristic of squamous cell carcinoma. A pearly papule with prominent blood vessels is a characteristic of a basal cell carcinoma. A tender, rough, scaly, sandpaper-like patch is a characteristic of actinic keratoses (a precancerous lesion).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
