One of the most common and serious complications a female may develop from gonorrhea is
- A.
pelvic inflammatory disease
- B.
irregular menstral cycles
- C.
vaginal discharge.
- D.
Chlamydia.
Correct Answer
A. pelvic inflammatory diseaseExplanation
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common and serious complication that can develop in females with gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. If left untreated, the infection can spread from the cervix to the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, leading to PID. PID can cause inflammation and scarring of the reproductive organs, which can result in chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, it is important for females with gonorrhea to seek prompt medical treatment to prevent the development of PID.Rate this question:

Helminthes normally enter the human host in the larval stages
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Helminths, which are parasitic worms, typically enter the human host in their larval stages. This is because the larval stages of helminths are better adapted to survive outside the host and are more capable of infecting a new host. Once inside the human body, these larvae develop into adult worms and cause various diseases and infections. Therefore, the statement "Helminthes normally enter the human host in the larval stages" is true.Rate this question:

Two reccomended tiers of isolation precautions by the CDC
- A.
Transmission low, standard based
- B.
Standard based, transmission
- C.
Standard, transmission
Correct Answer
C. Standard, transmissionExplanation
The correct answer is "Standard, transmission". The CDC recommends two tiers of isolation precautions, which are standard precautions and transmission-based precautions. Standard precautions are the basic level of infection control practices that should be applied to all patients, regardless of their diagnosis or presumed infection status. These precautions include hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, safe injection practices, and respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette. Transmission-based precautions, on the other hand, are additional precautions that are used for patients with known or suspected infections that are spread through specific routes, such as airborne, droplet, or contact transmission. Therefore, the correct answer is "Standard, transmission" as it represents the two recommended tiers of isolation precautions by the CDC.Rate this question:
