Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Vulvodynia produces symptoms of burning and pain in areas of the vulva. Vaginismus is involuntary contraction of the muscles surrounding the vaginal orifice so that penetration may be impossible and very painful. Dyspareunia is painful intercourse at the vaginal opening or upon deep thrusting.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The diaphragm stays in for 8 hours after intercourse; the FemCap can stay for 48 hours. Diaphragms and cervical caps are washable and reusable. Female condoms can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse to avoid interrupting sexual activity. Male condoms can be made of latex, polyurethane or natural membranes. Male latex condoms when used correctly are an effective means of contraceptive and very effective at preventing transmission of STIs.
