Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Gardasil is used to provide immunity for HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 that are high risk for cervical cancer and warts. The vaccine is recommended for people ages 10 to 26 years.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The client is displaying symptoms similar to secondary syphilis, with flu-like symptoms and rash due to the spirochetes circulating throughout the bloodstream. Therefore, the nurse needs to further assess the client's lesions with gloves since the client is highly contagious at this stage. Late latent syphilis is not infectious except to a fetus. Tertiary syphilis may display in the form of cardiovascular or central nervous system symptoms.
