Answer to Question 1

A
Male secretions are in contact with female mucous membranes longer than female secretions are in contact with the penis. Estrogen provides for vaginal lubrication and therefore reduces friction and tissue tearing.

Answer to Question 2

B
If diarrhea is moderate, only clear liquids are permitted by mouth. If the diarrhea is severe, noth-ing is given by mouth until it subsides. Severe, long-term diarrhea may require the use of total parenteral nutrition. When diarrhea is caused by infection, stool cultures and antibiotics may be necessary. As the condition improves, the diet is advanced.
