Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Reports of arrests because of driving while intoxicated, wife or child abuse, or disorderly con-duct are reasons for you to investigate the possibility of drug abuse more carefully.
A tendency toward high-risk behavior such as extreme sports or not using safety equipment is not necessarily a risk factor for illegal drug use.
A tendency toward violent behavior is not necessarily a risk factor for illegal drug abuse.
A family history of depression is not necessarily a risk factor for illegal drug abuse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain a major public health problem for sexually active persons, with almost half of all new infections occurring in men and women younger than 24 years of age (USDHHS, CDC, 2004).
While it is true that some STDs can result in infertility, this option doesn't show the greatest un-derstanding since it focuses on only one outcome.
While some STDs respond well to early treatment, some STDs, such as genital herpes and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can only be managed since a cure is not currently available.
