A school nurse is speaking to a group of fifth grade girls about menarche. The nurse knows she has not been successful in her teaching when a girl states:
 
  1. I may have my first menses at any time..
   2. I can become pregnant even if my menses is not regular..
   3. This is occurring because I am getting older..
   4. I need to plan on what types of products I should use..

Question 2

A mother calls the triage nurse because her son continues to have enuresis at the age of 7. The best response by the nurse is:
 
  1. This can occur up to about the age of 12..
   2. When your child exhibits enuresis, it is important to not be critical because it is usually not controllable..
   3. When enuresis occurs, the child needs to be disciplined..
   4. Enuresis occurs in boys and should not be a concern because he will grow out of it..

2. Pregnancy can occur with an irregular menses because an ovum is being released at various times.
3. This is not a clear understanding of what is occurring to the girl's body.
