Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
Black cohosh, ginseng, and flaxseed have been used as alternative therapies by menopausal women. Ginger treats nausea and vomiting, and St. John's wort is used to treat depression.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
Vaginal scarring and vaginismus cause the vaginal muscles at the introitus to contract so tightly that an erect penis cannot be inserted. Estrogen decreases in perimenopause and menopause, resulting in vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. An imperforate hymen and fear of sexual abuse are other causes of painful intercourse.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.

Immunoglobulin injections may give short-term protection against, or reduce severity of certain diseases. They help people who have an inherited problem making their own antibodies, or those who are having certain types of cancer treatments.

Certain topical medications such as clotrimazole and betamethasone are not approved for use in children younger than 12 years of age. They must be used very cautiously, as directed by a doctor, to treat any child. Children have a much greater response to topical steroid medications.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
