Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Physical changes in the older woman that increase susceptibility to HIV infection include loss of vaginal elasticity and vaginal dryness. Increased promiscuity is not a physical factor (and is not known to be a characteristic of the older adult). Mild isotonic dehydration is often seen in older adults, but is not related. Vaginal pH is not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
Infectious health risks related to tattooing include viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases, most commonly infections caused by viruses and bacteria. The most common infections associated with tattooing and body piercing include hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and human papilloma virus (HPV). Bacterial infections may be caused by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Clostridium, and Mycobacterium.
