Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Feedback:
Factors predisposing to ectopic pregnancy are tubal occlusion, an intrauterine contraceptive device, tumors, pelvic infections, endocrine imbalances, and abnormal tubal development.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, F
Feedback:
Generally, treatment of autoimmune diseases is, for the most part, symptomatic (specific symptoms are treated as they occur). It includes the use of mild analgesics to provide pain relief and to reduce inflammation, corticosteroids to treat inflammation (many conditions respond specifically to these drugs), and radiation to suppress the body's abnormal antigenantibody responses.
