Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Intradermal injections, often used for diagnostic testing (skin tests), are shallow injections given just beneath the epidermis. Subcutaneous injections are used for small amounts of medication that require slow, systemic absorption. Intramuscular injection is the best technique when medications given less deeply irritate the client's tissues or when large amounts of medication are necessary. IV fluids are administered via the circulatory system to correct or to prevent fluid and electrolyte imbalance in the client.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Condylomata acuminate, more commonly known as genital warts (or venereal warts), are caused by HPV, a large group of viruses. About 30 viruses in this group are sexually transmitted, infecting the genital area, vulva, labia, or anus, and surrounding tissues. At least 10 of the known 30 HPV types can lead to development of cervical cancer. Two strains account for about 70 of HPV-related cancer cases and are linked with abnormal Pap smears, indicating cancer of the cervix. Cancer of the anus and penis is also possible with HPV.
