Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Bleeding that occurs after menopause has been established is cause for concern. It may indicate endometrial cancer, and referral for endometrial biopsy or dilation and curettage (D&C) is warranted. If the patient is menopausal, ask about age of menopause, symptoms of menopause, and past or current use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Ask the patient about the type of birth control being used, if any. Ask about condom use. Be sure to inquire as to the consistency with which the patient uses birth control methods. Often patients deny the use of birth control, deny the desire for pregnancy, and yet admit to being sexually active. This definitely indicates the need for health teaching and counseling.
