Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. The use of super-absorbent tampons and occluding the cervical os with a contraceptive during menses increase the risk of TSS.
2. Using an IUD does not increase the risk of TSS.
3. Using oral contraceptives does not increase the risk of TSS.
4. Having multiple sexual partners does not increase the risk of TSS.

Answer to Question 2

A
Using Naegele's rule the EDD would be January 5th. The calculation is as follows:
March 29 plus 7 days = April 5
April 5 - 3 months = January 5
