Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
During latent syphilis, the disease is transmitted by exposure to contaminated blood. Sexual contact will not transmit the disease. It is not necessary to wear a condom since the disease is not transmittable by sexual contact. The disease is transmittable by contact with blood.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
The use of tampons is allowed. Patients using tampons must remember to change them regularly. Wearing pads at night will ensure the tampons are not left in too long while the patient sleeps. Immediate reporting of any signs or symptoms is important in order to prevent permanent damage to the pelvic organs.
