Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If clomiphene is unsuccessful, the provider may increase the dose by 50-mg increments for 2 each cycles up to 250 mg until ovulation occurs. Recombinant FSH may be used if this fails. It is not correct to administer the drug throughout the cycle or to continue with the initial dose.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When secondary amenorrhea occurs, pregnancy must be ruled out prior to performing other tests. A progestational challenge test will be performed if the patient is not pregnant. If polycystic ovarian syndrome is suspected, serum insulin levels and possibly a pelvic ultrasound will be performed.
