Answer to Question 1

1
All are potential causes of septic shock, but gram-negative bacteria are considered the major cause of septic shock.

Answer to Question 2

2
If the client is between the ages of 30 to 70 and has three normal Pap smear results, the client does not need to have another Pap smear for 3 years. If the client is between the ages of 21 to 30 and has normal Pap smear results, the client needs another Pap smear in 2 years. If the client is over the age of 70 and the last three Pap smear results were normal, within 10 years, the Pap smears can be discontinued.
