Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Gravida refers to a pregnant womangravida I (primigravida) during the first pregnancy, gravida II (secundigravida) during the second pregnancy, and so on. Para refers to the number of deliveries at 20 weeks or greater that a woman has, regardless of whether the newborn is born alive or dead. A would be used to denote the number of abortions and P would be used to denote the number of preterm births when using the GTPAL system.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
If genital lesions are present at the time of birth, a fetus may contract the virus from direct exposure. A woman who has existing genital lesions at the time of birth will be advised to have a cesarean birth to reduce the risk of infecting the baby. There are precautions that need to be undertaken if lesions are present at the time of birth. The use of medication will depend on the patient's and infant's exposure to the virus.
