Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale: It is appropriate for the nurse to include the frequently diagnosed STIs, the fact that the risk is decreased by using a condom, and the risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease. Birth control pills are useful in decreasing the risk of pregnancy but are not useful for decreasing the risk of contracting an STI. PID is an infection of the upper genital tract, not the lower genital tract.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Oxybutynin (Ditropan) is an anticholinergic that relaxes the smooth muscle of the bladder and decreases spasms. Oxybutynin is not an antidepressant or an antidiuretic, and does not slow urine production.
