Answer to Question 1

D
The acidic pH of the vagina, provided by lactic acid, is a defense against infection. The low pH is a hostile environment for pathogens. Muscle tone in the vagina is not affected by the pH level. The vagina is not a hostile environment to the sperm.

Answer to Question 2

A
The presence of increased levels of cortisol resulting from ongoing stress inhibits the an-ti-inflammatory response, thus making this patient most susceptible to developing an infection. A glycosylated Hgb level of 6.7 is normal; osteoarthritis and gallstones would not significantly increase a patient's likelihood of developing an infection.
