Question 2 of 5
A 23 y.o. woman is seen at an outpatient clinic for a routine Pap smear. When questioned, she states she is deciding whether to engage in sexual activity with a man she is just getting to know. She asks how she can tell if he has an STD. Which response by the nurse is best?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The best response by the nurse is to recommend an examination by a physician with diagnostic testing as the only way to know if the potential partner is infection free. Simply relying on the appearance of cleanliness or condom use may not be sufficient to determine the presence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HPV, chlamydia, or herpes, which may not have visible symptoms. Encouraging regular testing and open communication about sexual health with partners is crucial in preventing the spread of STIs.

Question 5 of 5
Joel has some internal bleeding. At which of the following sites is the most common for the child with hemophilia to bleed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In children with hemophilia, the most common site for bleeding is at the ends of the long bones, such as the joints (especially the knees, elbows, and ankles). This is due to the joints being more prone to injury and stress during physical activities. As a result, spontaneous bleeding or bleeding following minor trauma can occur at these sites. Internal bleeding in the cerebrum or intestines is less common in children with hemophilia compared to bleeding in the joints.
