A client with dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is in the clinic for diagnosis. During the nursing history, the nurse should ask if the client with amenorrhea has a history of:
 
  1. high-fat diet.
  2. weight gain.
  3. bulimia.
  4. athletic training.

Question 2

  1. decreased levels of testosterone.
  2. sodium retention due to increased aldosterone.
  3. decreased prolactin levels.
  4. decreased fluid levels.
