Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: This statement is not true. Because of the complexity of ovulation and maintaining a pregnancy, it is more likely that a female issue is causing the infertility. Regardless, using the term at fault is blaming and should be avoided.
Rationale 2: Although this statement is true because of the complexity of ovulation and maintaining a pregnancy, using the term at fault is blaming and should be avoided.
Rationale 3: Testing will determine what the infertility issue is, but using the term at fault is blaming and should be avoided.
Rationale 4: This is a factual answer that avoids using the term at fault. This statement is therapeutically worded and therefore is the best answer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: CBC with differential will give an indication of the severity of the infection.
Rationale 2: Gonorrhea is a common cause of PID, and the patient should be tested for this.
Rationale 3: Streptococcus of the throat is not associated with PID.
Rationale 4: RPR is a test for syphilis, another cause of PID.
