Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A cancer cell growth rate is called proliferation. Anaplasia is the loss of organization and structure, pleomorphism is the occurrence of more than one shape of the cell, and a neoplasm is the term for a new or cancerous growth occurring when abnormal cells have the opportunity to multiply and grow.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Patients most likely to have adverse drug reactions include the very young or very old due to physiologic characteristics peculiar to these age groups. Therefore, the newborn infant would be at greater risk than the school-aged child who is at greater risk than the adolescent or middle-aged man.
