Answer to Question 1

C
Vaginal weight training is done with a set of five small, cone-shaped weights that are used along with pelvic muscle exercise as a therapeutic option for incontinence. The lightest cone, which has a string attached, is inserted into the vagina and held in place by muscle tightening for 15 minutes twice a day. When there is no problem holding this cone in place, the next heaviest cone is used. This continues until the heaviest cone can be held in place for the 15-minute period.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Commonly administered drugs that can be ototoxic are many of the antibiotics, nonsteroidal an-ti-inflammatory drugs, chemotherapy agents, and potent diuretics, such as furosemide (Lasix) (Box 25-3). Acetaminophen and amoxicillin are not ototoxic.
