Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
In normal healthy women, daily douching is believed to be unnecessary because it removes normal bacterial flora from the vagina. Douching has been linked to bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, higher rates of HIV transmission, tubal pregnancies, chlamydial infection, and cervical cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Always proceed from the least contaminated area to the most contaminated area. For a female client, spread the labia and move the washcloth from the pubic area toward the anal area to prevent carrying organisms from the anal area back over to the genital area.
