Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Potential side effects of nafarelin (a GnRH agonist) include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, bone loss, and irregular bleeding. Nafarelin suppresses ovarian activity, rather than stimulating it, producing a medically induced menopause. It is administered as a nasal spray, not by injection. Endometriosis is not caused by an infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Podophyllin applications, cryotherapy, electrocauterizatio n, and laser therapy are treatments for HPV. Miconazole is used for candidiasis, penicillin for syphilis, and metronidazole for trichomoniasis.
