Answer to Question 1

1. An 80-year-old farmer who wears a cap when working

Rationale:
The older adult client has had more years of living to increase the risk of skin cancer from exposure to the sun. In addition, the farmer wears a cap, but no mention is made of protectant sunscreens or long-sleeved shirts and pants. The lifeguard, baby, and teenager have lesser risk because there are physical barriers to the sun identified in each option: sunscreen, umbrella, and ski outfit.

Answer to Question 2

A
The spinal cord is a part of the Central Nervous System. The Peripheral Nervous System includes the Parasympathetic Nervous System, the Sympathetic Nervous System, and the Autonomic Nervous System.
