Answer to Question 1

B
Endovenous occlusion using laser is done by placing a catheter within the vein under duplex ul-trasound guidance. A laser heats the vessel, causing it to collapse and close off. Patients ambulate immediately after the procedure for 30 to 60 minutes and 1 to 2 hours per day for 1 to 2 weeks. The patient should wear compression stockings for 1 to 2 weeks. The patient should not massage the legs or notify the doctor of warm feet (a normal finding).

Answer to Question 2

A
Hormonal changes during the midportion of the cycle may increase breast tenderness. The onset of the menstrual cycle completes puberty and usually occurs between ages 9 and 17 . During the first year following menarche, the menstrual cycle may be somewhat irregular, but by the second year a regular cycle of approximately 28 days is normally established. Irregular periods may be a benign finding, but late or absent periods could also be a cause for concern (including a potential sign of pregnancy). Menstrual bleeding occurs about 14 days after ovulation and lasts between 2 and 8 days.
