Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The vaccine is safe for girls as young as 9 years old and is recommended for females ages 11 to 26 if they have not already completed the three required injections. Booster doses currently are not recommended. The vaccine is most effective if administered before sexual activity or exposure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse should first address the patient's need to be comfortable with his or her own body image; once the patient's issues related to body image are resolved, intimacy may follow. Reassuring the patient that others manage to have sexual intercourse with an ostomy may help to decrease anxiety but may have the unintended effect of making the patient feel abnormal because he or she has not yet resumed sexual activity. Support groups may be helpful for the patient, but this is not the most effective initial intervention a nurse can provide; this may be helpful later. The patient is worried about the ostomy; incorporating it into intimate activities is insensitive and can even be damaging to the stoma.

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.
