Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
The ovarian cycle consists of three phases: the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. The endometrial cycle includes the proliferative phase, menstrual phase, and secretory phase.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Lyme disease is caused by the bite of an infected tick, with a rash appearing 7 to 14 days after the tick bite. Ticks are commonly found in wooded areas. Therefore, reports of the child playing in the woods about 7 days ago would support the diagnosis of Lyme disease. A papular and vesicular rash is commonly associated with varicella (chickenpox). A high fever for 3 to 5 days before a rash suggests roseola. Extreme pruritus with visible nits would suggest pediculosis.
