Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Multiple sexual partners, especially when younger than 16 years of age, increase the risk of cervical cancer, possibly due to the increased risk of exposure to HPV. Smoking, use of oral contraceptives for longer than five years, and poor nutrition all increase the risk of cervical cancer.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The written direction for the preparation and administration of a drug is called a prescription. A medication is another name for a drug. An order written on the client's chart by the provider could be for a medication or a treatment/intervention. There is no such thing as an apothecary recording.
