Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Human papillomavirus is a major causative factor for cervical cancer. Hepatitis, cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus are not associated with the development of cervical cancer.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
If two consecutive active pills are missed, the patient should be advised to take two pills immediately. Then the patient should continue the following day with the usual schedule. Missing two pills may allow ovulation to occur, so an added contraceptive such as a spermicide should be used for the remainder of the month. The patient does not need to take two pills every day for the rest of the month, take three pills and abstain from coitus, or start a new cycle of 21 pills.
