Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Common causes of dyspareunia are organic problems, including inadequate lubrication at the vaginal opening or within the vaginal walls. Medications that cause dyspareunia include antihistamines, certain tranquilizers, marijuana, and alcohol.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Primary impotence refers to a man who has never been able to achieve an erection necessary for intercourse; secondary impotence refers to a man who was once successful in attaining and maintaining erections but who has subsequently experienced difficulty. Causes of impotence, whether primary or secondary, can be physiologic, psychological, or both. Certain manifestations may indicate the probability that the problem is secondary to a physiologic or a psychological factor.
