Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Females who have never had a period have primary amenorrhea, which is defined as no menses by age 14 without secondary sex characteristics, or no menses by age 16 with secondary sex characteristics. Dysmenorrhea refers to painful cramping with periods. Hypothyroidism can contribute to secondary amenorrhea, which is characterized by cessation of periods for at least 6 months once menses have begun.

ANS: A
Patient with angina usually are treated with nitrates; phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as tadalifil are contraindicated in patients taking nitrates.
