Answer to Question 1

2. Systemic lupus erythematosus

Rationale:
The rash over the nose and cheeks is sometimes called a butterfly rash and is classic for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), although not every client diagnosed with this disorder will have this rash. While fibromyalgia, Lyme's disease, and gout share some symptoms of SLE, they do not cause a rash over the nose and cheeks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
