Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
Several of the National Health Goals are related to reproductive life planning. Two of them include increasing the proportion of young males who receive reproductive health services and reducing the proportion of women experiencing unplanned pregnancies despite using contraception. Another goal is to increase the number of publicly funded family planning clinics (not private pharmacies) that offer the full range of FDA-approved methods of contraception, including emergency contraception, on site. Another goal is to decrease the proportion of pregnancies conceived within 18 months of a previous birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The diaphragm should not be used during menses due to the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a rare, sometimes fatal disease caused by toxins produced by certain strains of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. Common signs of TSS include fever of sudden onset greater than 38.4 C (101.1 F), rash, and hypotension with a systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness. Shortness of breath and facial swelling do require medical attention but are not related to TSS.
