Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The client with pelvic inflammatory disease usually experiences lower abdominal tenderness. The UAP can position the client. Only the nurse can administer medications, initially apply heat to the client's abdomen, and perform teaching.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Gardasil is used to provide immunity for HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 that are high risk for cervical cancer and genital warts. While there is some truth that urination after intercourse may decrease the risk of infection by flushing out organisms, it does not eliminate the risk of contaminating bacteria traveling up the urethra. The other statements are not accurate.
