Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Pessaries are rubber or silicone devices inserted into the vagina to reduce pelvic prolapse and can be a source of chronic vaginal irritation, which can contribute to a woman's risk of vaginal cancer. The other histories are not as closely associated with vaginal cancer.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Weight is monitored for losses or gains. Oral diets of 2500 mL/day to replace fluids and electrolytes caused from diarrhea are not uncommon. When the person is hospitalized, a bedside commode or a bedpan must be accessible at all times because of the urgency and frequency of stools.
