Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The first outbreak of herpes lesions is called first episode infection, and has an average duration of 12 days. The latency period is a time, during which time the person remains infectious even though no symptoms are present. Prodromal symptoms of recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes can include burning, itching, tingling, or throbbing at the sites where lesions commonly appear. Lesions of the type described are not commonly associated with drug reactions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Drinking additional fluids also helps dilute the acidity of the urine; however, fluids that increase acidity such as cranberry should be avoided. Orange juice is not identified as reducing the pain associated with urination. Restricting fluids could make the pain worse.
