Answer to Question 1

B
Application involves using abstract, newly learned ideas in a concrete situation. The client who is taught the clinical manifestations of inflammation and how to assess for signs such as redness or edema is using newly learned information in a concrete manner.
Attitude has to do with affective learning. The client is not expressing an attitude but is applying new knowledge in a concrete way.
Analysis involves breaking down information into organized parts. The client is not demonstrat-ing analysis in this situation.
Evaluation is a judgement of the worth of a body of information for a given purpose. This client is not expressing judgement.

Answer to Question 2

B
Chlamydia is the most common of all bacterial STIs, and is treated with an antibiotic.
Chlamydia is caused by bacteria that can be treated, not by a virus.
Sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia, are transmitted from infected individuals to partners during intimate sexual contact. STIs are contracted not via blood-borne exchange, but rather through body fluids.
Chlamydia is not prevented with the use of a spermicide.
