Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
There is no known cure for human papilloma virus; the causative agent for genital warts. The patient needs to be reminded to use condoms to prevent future infections. Chemical barriers will not prevent spread of the human papillomavirus. Former infection from an STI does not prevent future infection.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
There are four types of genital warts: condyloma acuminata, keratotic warts, papular warts, and flat warts. Papular warts are smooth lesions that also develop on keratinized skin. Condyloma acuminata are cauliflower-shaped lesions that appear on moist skin surfaces such as the vagina or anus. Keratotic warts are thick, hard lesions that develop on keratinized skin such as the labia major, penis, or scrotum. Flat warts are slightly raised lesions, often invisible to the naked eye, that develop on keratinized skin.
