Modifiable risk factors include having unprotected sexual contact, as well as new or multiple sexual partners. Non-modifiable risk factors include being under the age of 35 because clients under 35 years of age are more likely to have new or multiple sexual partners. Other risk factors include having a history of prior PID, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or bacterial vaginosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_answer_explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect answer explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Miscarriage_two_years_ago\"><\/span>A.
