Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Excessive exercise can cause amenorrhea. The other statements by the patient do not suggest any urgent teaching needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This question is the most simply stated and will increase the likelihood of obtaining the relevant information about sexual orientation and possible risk factors associated with sexual activity. A patient who prefers sex with women may also have intercourse at times with men. The types of sexual activities engaged in may not indicate sexual orientation. Many patients who have sex with both men and women do not identify themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
