Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss, is not associated with eating laundry starch.
Rationale 2: Weight gain is related to the patient's eating laundry starch.
Rationale 3: The ingestion of non-nutritive food sources is called pica. Eating these non-nutritive substances has been found to interfere with the absorption of iron.
Rationale 4: Fecal impaction is associated with the eating of clay, not laundry starch.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: First-trimester fetal loss is not associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Rationale 2: Dyspareunia is not associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Rationale 3: Vulvitis is not associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
