Answer to Question 1

A, D
Feedback
Correct A woman is unlikely to become pregnant after tubal ligation. Sterilization
offers no protection against STDs.
Incorrect Tubal ligation is not 100 effective. Tubal ligation does not offer any
protection against STDs. Typically, the menstrual cycle remains the same
after a tubal ligation.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Feedback
Correct Routine immunizations are appropriate.
Incorrect The MMR vaccination is not given at 2 months of age. If it were indicated,
CD4+ counts are monitored when deciding whether to provide live virus
vaccines. If the child is severely immunocompromised, the MMR vaccine
is not given. The varicella vaccine can be considered on the basis of the
child's CD4+counts. Only IPV should be used for HIV-infected children.
