Answer to Question 1

B
The face sheet includes biographical data, insurance coverage, allergies, attending physician, admitting medical diagnosis, assigned diagnosis-related group, and statement of whether the patient has an advance directive.

Answer to Question 2

3. Culture

Rationale:
Cultures to identify infections may be conducted on tissue samples, on drainage and exudates from lesions, and on serum. Skin biopsies are used to differentiate a benign skin lesion from a skin cancer. Wood's lamp is used to identify infections through immunofluorescent studies. Patch tests are used to determine allergies.
