Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Men need to have a digital rectal examination of the prostate every year beginning at 50 years of age. Ca125 blood tests are indicated for women at high risk for ovarian cancer. Because this patient is a man, Ca125 is not needed. Patients over the age of 65 need to have complete eye examinations yearly. Colonoscopy every 10 years is recommended in patients 50 years of age and older.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection increases the person's risk for cervical cancer. HPV vaccine is recommended by the American Cancer Society for females aged 9 to 26 years. Vaginal discharge, painful or swollen perianal tissues, and genital lesions are signs and symptoms that may indicate a sexually transmitted infection.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
