Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Butterfly rash on face, sensitivity to sunlight, polyarthralgias, and polyarthritis are some of the main criteria leading to the diagnosis of SLE.

Identify involved contacts while stressing importance of preventing transmission of disease. Washable and clothing items should be cleaned in hot water to prevent reinfection. No special diet is required. Isolation is not necessary once medical management is completed.
