Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Glucocorticoids are not indicated in the treatment of PCOS; this statement indicates that further teaching is required.
Weight loss, Clomid, and Glucophage are all treatment options for PCOS; no further teaching is required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
One table each day for 5 consecutive days is the most effective option.
The dosing regimens in these answers are not the most effective options.
