Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. Lubricant and spermicidal cream are not needed.
2. Lubricant and spermicidal cream are not needed.
3. To activate the spermicide in the vaginal sponge, it must be moistened thoroughly with water.
4. The sponge can remain in place for 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

B
Infants who have galactose deficiency are most likely to consume soy-based, lactose-free formula. The premature newborn who is unable to breastfeed probably will be prescribed a specialized formula with increased caloric intake compared to regular formula. An elemental, protein hydrolysate formula is appropriate for the infant allergic to cow's milk or intestinal malabsorption.
