Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4
Menopause is said to have occurred when the female has not experienced a period in over one year. As estrogen levels decline, symptoms include night sweats, hot flashes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness, but if menstruation is still occurring, menopause is not complete. The clitoris often shrinks during menopause, it does not become larger.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Bacterial vaginosis presents with a creamy-gray to white discharge that has a fishy odor. A yellow discharge can be seen in chlamydial infection. Genital warts are raised, moist, cauliflower-shaped papules. Green discharge that has a foul smell is associated with gonorrhea.
