Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An IUD is not recommended for women who have multiple sexual partners and are at risk for sexually transmitted infections because it provides no protection against these diseases. An IUD does not interfere with sex, and provides long-term contraception.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Neither vasectomy nor tubal ligation affects sexual functioning. There is no absolute guarantee that sterilization will prevent pregnancy; however, the failure rate is very low. Tubal ligation reversals can be attempted, but the success depends on the type of procedure performed.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
