Answer to Question 1

B
Leaving room at the tip of a condom guards against spillage of semen. Petroleum jelly deteri-orates latex condoms. Only water-based lubricants should be used. Condoms should be applied only one time. A condom should be applied with erection; sperm is secreted in pre-ejaculate.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E
Modifiable risk factors that increase the patient's risk of heart disease include hypertension, ob-esity, and cigarette smoking. The patient could lessen his risk by strictly controlling blood pres-sure, losing weight with diet and exercise, and implementing a smoking cessation plan. Age and race are nonmodifiable risk factors for heart disease.
