What junique jfactor jcauses jadolescent jgirls jto jhave ja jhigh jrisk jfor jsexually
jtransmitted jinfections j(STIs)? j
a. jThey jare jin jan jexperimental jphase jwith jsexual jintercourse jand jbelieve jthey
jare jresistant jto jdeveloping jSTIs. j
b. jThe jadolescent jcervix jis jimmature jand jlacks jimmunity. j
c. jThe jlength jof jthe jvaginal jcanal jis jshort jin jadolescents, jallowing ja jgreater
jconcentration jof jmicroorganisms jwithin jthe jinternal jgenitalia. j
d. jIn jadolescent jgirls, jthe janus jto jthe jvaginal jintroitus jare jin jclose jproximity. j-
jANS✓✓-ANS: jB j
Partly, jperhaps, jbecause jof jrisk-taking jbehavior j(unprotected jintercourse jor
jselection jof jhigh-risk jpartners), jmany jadolescents jhave jan jincreased jrisk jfor
jSTI jexposure jand jinfection. jThe junique jfactor jfor jadolescent jwomen jis jthat
jthey jhave ja jphysiologically jincreased jsusceptibility jto jinfection jbecause jof
jincreased jcervical jimmaturity jand jlack jof jimmunity. jThe jremaining joptions jare
jnot jconsidered jlegitimate jrisk jfactors jfor jSTIs.
How jis jgonorrhea jtransmitted jfrom ja jpregnant jwoman jto jher jfetus? j
a. jUnbound jin jthe jblood jvia jthe jplacenta j
b. jAttached jto jimmunoglobulin jG j(IgG) jvia jthe jplacenta j
c. jAcross jamniotic jmembranes jby jthe jdirect jinoculation jwith jthe jfetal jscalp
jelectrodes jduring jlabor jmonitoring j
d. jPredominately jthrough jinfected jcervical jand jsecretions jduring jthe jbirth
jprocess j- jANS✓✓-ANS: jD j
A jpregnant jwoman jcan jtransmit jgonorrhea jto jher jfetus jduring jthe jbirth
jprocess. jThe jinfection jpasses jfrom jmother jto jchild jpredominately jthrough
jinfected jcervical jand jvaginal jsecretions. jThe jtransmission jis jnot jassociated
jwith jthe jother joptions.
, Which jstatement jis jfalse jabout jthe jfactors jthat jfacilitate jthe jascent jof
jgonococci jinto jthe juterus jand jfallopian jtubes? j
a. jAscent jof jgonococci jis jfacilitated jbecause jthe jcervical jplug jdisintegrates
jduring jmenstruation. j
b. jAscent jof jgonococci jis jfacilitated jbecause jthe jvaginal jpH jdecreases jto j2 jor
j3. j
c. jAscent jof jgonococci jis jfacilitated jbecause jthe juterine jcontractions jmay
jcause jretrograde jmenstruation jinto jthe jfallopian jtubes. j
d. jAscent jof jgonococci jis jfacilitated jbecause jthe jbacteria jmay jadhere jto jsperm
jand jbe jtransported jto jthe jfallopian jtubes. j- jANS✓✓-ANS: jB j
Several jfactors jcan jfacilitate jthe jascent jof jgonococci jinto jthe juterus jand jthe
jfallopian jtubes, jwhere jthey jcause jpelvic jinflammatory jdisease j(PID). jAmong
jthese jfactors jare j(1) jdisintegration jof jthe jcervical jmucous jplug jand j(2) ja jrise
jin jvaginal jpH jgreater jthan j4.5 jduring jmenstruation. jThe jother joptions jare
jaccurate jstatements.
In jwomen, jwhat jis jthe jusual jsite jof joriginal jgonococcal jinfection? j
a. jEndocervical jcanal j
c. jFallopian jtube j
b. jVagina j
d. jLabia jmajora j- jANS✓✓-ANS: jA j
In jwomen, jthe jendocervical jcanal j(inner jportion jof jthe jcervix) jis jthe jusual jsite
jof joriginal jgonococcal jinfection, jalthough jurethral jcolonization jand jinfection jof
jSkene jor jBartholin jglands jalso jare jcommon. jThe jother joptions jare jnot jusually
jassociated jwith jgonococcal jinfections
What jis jthe jprimary jsite jfor juncomplicated jlocal jgonococci jinfections jin jmen? j
a. jEpididymis j
c. jUrethra j
b. jLymph jnodes j
d. jProstate j- jANS✓✓-ANS: jC j
