Answer to Question 1

B
Gardnerella vaginalis causes bacterial vaginosis and is treated with metronidazole gel. C. tra-chomatis is treated with systemic antibiotics. H. ducreyi, which causes chancroid, is treated with systemic antibiotics. T. vaginalis is treated with oral metronidazole.

Answer to Question 2

A
Anorexia, nausea, and vomiting are the most common adverse effects of digoxin and should cause nurses to evaluate for more serious signs of toxicity. If the HR is greater than 60 beats per minute, the dose may be given. Nausea by itself is not a sign of toxicity. A decreased dose is not indicated. A serum potassium level less than 3.5 mEq/L is an indication for withholding the dose.
