Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale 1: Women need to know that vasomotor symptoms occur. It might be important to investigate other possible causes of the vasomotor symptoms.
Rationale 2: Women need to know that a decrease in vaginal lubrication occurs, and that water-soluble lubricants should be used.
Rationale 3: During the perimenopausal stage, pregnancy still can occur, so contraception should be used.
Rationale 4: Mood changes and irritability occur, and the woman might experience more forgetfulness.
Rationale 5: The libido tends to decrease as the woman enters menopause.
