Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This patient has signs and symptoms consistent with gonorrhea. Herpes simplex manifests as vesicles on the penis or testes (or both) with a watery discharge. Nongonococcal urethritis results in ulcers on the urethral site. Syphilis is characterized by chancres and skin lesions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Chlamydial infections are frequently asymptomatic in women and may be asymptomatic in men; they can cause sterility in women. C. trachomatis conjunctivitis in newborns does not result in blindness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine screening in sexually active women under age 25 and for those over age 25 with new partners or multiple partners. Treatment should begin when infections are identified, regardless of whether they are symptomatic.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
