Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Teens have the highest incidence of sexually transmitted infections, especially chlamydia. A patient not using contraceptives is not using condoms, which decrease the risk of contracting a STI.
Rationale 2: Dyspareunia sometimes develops with chlamydia infection, but dyspareunia is not a symptom specific to chlamydia.
Rationale 3: There is no correlation between oral contraceptive use and an increased rate of chlamydia infection. Additionally, chlamydia is more commonly seen in young women.
Rationale 4: This patient is experiencing signs of menopause, not of chlamydia infection.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. Diet may be evaluated using a food frequency questionnaire, which lists common categories of foods and asks the woman how frequently in a day (or week) she consumes foods from the list.
