Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Adolescents are uncomfortable about the pelvic examination and require a lot of support. Adolescents doubt the confidentiality of the agency and are reluctant to name contacts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The chain of infection refers to the way in which organisms spread and infect the individual. A portal of entry is a route by which the organisms enter the body (e.g., a cut in the skin). A portal of exit is the route by which the organisms exit the body (e.g., feces or urine). A reservoir for infection is a place that supports the growth of organisms (e.g., standing, stagnant water). A vector is an insect or animal that carries and spreads a disease.
