Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Most patients with uncomplicated gonorrheal infections are treated with a single intramuscular dose of ceftriaxone and an oral course of azithromycin or doxycycline. Because patients with gonorrhea frequently also are infected with C. trachomatis, concurrent treatment with azithromycin or doxycycline is recommended. Cefoxitin and clindamycin are used to treat pelvic inflammatory disease.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginal infection in women of reproductive age. The primary manifestation is a vaginal discharge that is thin and grayish-white, and has a foul, fishy odor. Yeast infections present with a thick, cheesy discharge. Trichomoniasis presents with a frothy, yellow discharge with a strong odor. Genital warts are growths.
