Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Because the vagina is more fragile in elderly women, increased sexual activity (particularly as a newlywed) may increase the risk of vaginitis; itching, foul-smelling discharge, and postcoital bleeding are symptoms associated with vaginal infection. Cancer of the vagina is rare in older women.

Answer to Question 2

A
Antibiotic therapy eradicates H. pylori.
