Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Douching while pregnant is contraindicated because the force of the irrigating fluid could cause the solution to enter the cervix and lead to uterine infection. In addition, douching alters the pH of the vagina, leading to an increased risk of vaginal bacterial growth. The alkalinity, purchase type, or temperature of the solution does not matter. The pregnant patient should not douche.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A To avoid cross-contamination, medication should never be shared.
B The child should remain home from school until 24 hours after receiving
medication.
C Care should be taken to avoid touching the tip of the ointment tube or dropper to
the eye to avoid contamination of the medication.
D The child should not wear contact lenses until treatment is completed.
