Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Herpes zoster is a viral illness that produces clusters of papulovesicles that develop often in the thoracic area. The skin where the eruptions occur is often painful. Seborrheic keratosis is a waxy, raised lesion, that flesh-colored or pigmented and may vary in size.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D
Difficulty and pain are not characteristics of urination normally attributed to aging.
In about 10 to 20 of well older adults, aging of the urinary tract is associated with an increased frequency of involuntary bladder contractions. These changes may lead to frequency, nocturia, urgency, and vulnerability to infection.
