Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection increases the person's risk for cervical cancer. HPV vaccine is recommended for females aged 11 to 12 years but can be given to females ages 12 through 26; males can also receive the vaccine. HPV is not a risk factor for breast, ovarian, and testicular cancer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Most states mandate a report to a social service center if nurses suspect abuse or neglect. When abuse is suspected, the nurse interviews the patient in private, not with a teacher. Observe the behavior of the individual for any signs of frustration, explanations that do not fit his or her physical presentation, or signs of injury. The nurse knows how to proceed and does not need to talk to the principal about what to do. Disregarding the finding is not advised because victims often will not complain or report that they are in an abusive situation.
