Answer to Question 1

2. Limited alcohol to three drinks per week
4. Stopped using tanning booths

Rationale:
Excessive use of alcohol, especially in women, has been linked to increased risk of breast cancer so reduction in intake would demonstrate understanding. Use of tanning booths increases the risk of skin cancer so discontinuing use would indicate understanding. Increasing the amount of lean red meat and drinking two glasses of red wine daily are not actions that reduce cancer risk. Increased fiber intake reduces the risk of colon cancer.

Answer to Question 2

A
Blood return through the venous system is boosted by veins that are equipped with valves that prevent backward flow of blood and compression of the veins by the surrounding skeletal muscles.
