Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Syphilis can be treated with penicillin. The disease is mainly transmitted by sexual contact, although it can be congenital. A person can have the disease with no lesions. In untreated syphilis, symptoms will go away for a while, but the disease will continue to harm body organs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
For women who are still menstruating monthly, the breast self-examination should be done every month, 1 week after the menstrual period. Women who do not menstruate should designate one day each month for the examination.
