Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4
The elevation in white blood count is an indicator of an infectious process somewhere in the body. Abdominal pain and abnormal bleeding are manifestations of pelvic inflammatory disease, a complication of gonorrhea. Ambulating slowly with the legs apart is not a manifestation of this disease process. The serum potassium level is not used to identify a complication from this disease.
