Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Primary dysmenorrhea occurs without specific pelvic pathology and is most often seen in girls who have just begun menstruating, becoming less severe after the mid-20s. The client does not need to see a gynecologist for a pelvic examination. Cramps are normal in the age range. The client is an early adolescent, which is not too early to start having periods.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D

Manifestations of primary dysmenorrhea include headache, diarrhea, and fatigue in addition to vomiting, breast tenderness, and pain radiating to the lower back and thighs. Scant menses is a symptom of a hormone imbalance. Bleeding between menstrual periods is a characteristic of metrorrhagia.
