Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 5
In the treatment of PMS, it is suggested that the woman consume a diet high in complex carbohydrates; reduce sodium intake, which helps minimize fluid retention; and limits alcohol intake. Caffeine is restricted to reduce irritability. A high-protein diet and increasing fat intake are not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 4, 5
Kegel exercises strengthen perineal muscle tone, minimize urinary leakage, and minimize descent of the bladder and rectum into the vagina. Proper perineal care is essential with stress incontinence to minimize skin irritation and the potential for infection. Use of perineal pads allows the patient to return to her normal daily activities. Reducing or eliminating caffeine can reduce urinary frequency and urgency. Estrogen supplements can improve perineal muscle tone in postmenopausal women.
