Answer to Question 1

C
Ceftriaxone is effective for treatment of all gonococcal infections.
Penicillin is used to treat syphilis.
Tetracycline is used to treat chlamydial infections.
Acyclovir is used to treat herpes genitalis.

Answer to Question 2

B
Most ovarian cysts regress spontaneously.
Cysts in women of childbearing age may decrease within one cycle, so treatment is not ne-cessary at this point.
It is too early to anticipate removal of the cysts. Most ovarian cysts regress spontaneously within one cycle.
A transvaginal ultrasound examination will help determine if the cyst is fluid filled or solid. The cyst can then be removed if warranted.
