Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat dysmenorrhea, excess bleeding may occur during the first 2 days of a period. NSAIDs do not decrease the effect of OCPs. NSAIDs are irritating to the stomach, so patients should take with food or a full glass of water. NSAIDs will not decrease the duration of periods.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Acetaminophen is safe to give children and does not cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with platelet aggregation. Aspirin carries an increased risk of Reye's syndrome in children. Diflunisal (Dolobid) is not available over the counter.
