Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Prostaglandin inhibitors such as ibuprofen (Motrin) are most effective for menstrual pain because they reduce inflammation as well as relieve pain. Activity reduces the discomfort of menstrual pain. Eating sour foods does not influence menstruation. Menstruation does not affect hair care needs.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
Feedback
Correct Childhood SIADH usually is caused by disorders affecting the central
nervous system, such as infections (meningitis), head trauma, and brain
tumors.
Incorrect These conditions do not usually cause SIADH.
