Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: This nurse is obsessed with the situation to the point that it is all he can think about. There is no disbelief, because the nurse accepts that Mrs. Shaw actually made the request. Because the nurse was actively trying to learn more about the situation, there is no sign of disconnectedness. There is no indication of frenzied activity.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale: Cause of toxic shock syndrome is infrequent tampon changing in 70 of cases. Other causes include improper use of a diaphragm, infected surgical wounds, and subcutaneous abscesses. IUDs have not been associated with TSS, but could result in PID. Type of underwear is not related to TSS.
