Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

While spontaneous resolution is possible, surgery is sometimes necessary for the treatment of Peyronie disease. Circumcision would not be an effective treatment, and lifestyle factors are not noted to contribute to the etiology or resolution.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Genital warts can take between 6 weeks to 8 months to incubate after exposure. The virus cannot be eliminated, and condoms do not provide proven protection. Vaccine protects against 4 HPV types.
