Answer to Question 1

D
An abrasion is a scraping or rubbing away of the epidermis; it may result in localized bleeding and later weeping of serous fluid. Acne is defined as a papulopustular skin eruption. Rough texture may indicate dry skin, not an abrasion. Scaly, oozing erythematous areas may indicate contact dermatitis.

Answer to Question 2

B
