Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
The use of oral contraceptive pills causes the vaginal vault to become alkaline from cervical se-cretions, which makes for a conducive environment for STIs. Oral birth control pills make the need for a condom redundant as pregnancy will be averted by the medication. Oral contracep-tives do not cause bone marrow suppression, and while birth control must be taken regularly in order to be effective, this contributes to the risk of pregnancy, not an STI.

Answer to Question 2

C
Care of the patient with Barrett esophagus is focused on encouraging measures to prevent GERD and on regular checkups. Patients should be encouraged not to use tobacco products and not to indulge in heavy alcohol use.
