Answer to Question 1

D
Some vaginal discharge that is the same color as the medication is an expected outcome after vaginal instillation. Local pruritus and burning indicate inflammation or infection and is an unexpected outcome. Bright red vaginal walls or white curdlike patches are signs of a possible yeast infection.

Answer to Question 2

D
Noninvasive ventilation, including CPAP and BiPAP, is contraindicated in cardiac or respiratory arrest, nonrespiratory organ failure, facial surgery or trauma, inability to protect the airway and/or high risk for aspiration, and inability to clear secretions. A nasal cannula cannot be used with nasal obstruction from a broken nose.
