Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Green discharge that has a foul smell is associated with gonorrhea, which may spread to the abdominal cavity to cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Frothy yellow-green discharge is seen in trichomoniasis. Herpes infection produces red, painful vesicles with localized swelling. Bacterial vaginosis presents with a creamy-gray to white discharge that has a fishy odor.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Yeast infections are the most common female genital infection and can produce redness, pruritis, and cheese-like discharge. Contact dermatitis is characterized by reddened lesions that weep and form crusts. Herpes infection causes small, red, painful ulcerations. Venereal warts appear as cauliflower-shaped, raised, moist papules.
