Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5
Most but not all sexually transmitted infections may be prevented by the use of latex condoms. A person can contract an STI during the first sexual experience. For treatment to be effective both partners must be treated to prevent reinfection. Many complications of delayed treatment may occur, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, neonatal illness, death, and genital cancer. The risk for infection is greater when there are multiple sexual partners.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The herpes simplex virus can be transmitted during the prodromal period and for approximately 10 days after the lesions have healed. During these periods, sexual activity should be avoided. During the prodromal period, lesions are not present, but it is believed the virus is shed, making transmission possible. Condom use is beneficial in protection against the disease, but it is not 100 effective. Viral shedding is limited after the lesions have healed, but this is not the only period of potential transmission. Patient should wait at least 10 days before engaging in sexual relations.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
