Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Kegel exercises are a technique that strengthens the sphincter and muscle control relating to urination. Performance of the exercise helps prevent involuntary urination. Abdominal twist exercises do not affect the muscles relating to urination. Adequate hydration is necessary for overall health, and the use of incontinence pads will not help control the problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Candidiasis (yeast infection) is characterized by itching and burning on urination, inflammation of vulva and vagina, and cottage cheese appearance to discharge. An appropriate treatment is miconazole. Zidovudine is prescribed for human immunodeficiency virus, azithromycin for Chlamydia, and acyclovir for herpes simplex virus.
