Answer to Question 1

B
Many women with herpes can predict an outbreak because of tingling or burning in the vagina. Elevations in temperature, increased vaginal discharge, and headaches are not common precursors of a herpes outbreak.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
Diagnosis of MI is made by patient history, ECG, and serum cardiac enzyme levels. Elevated LDL, WBC, or bilirubin levels are not indicative of an MI.
