Answer to Question 1

1
1. Correct. PMS is a cluster of physical, psychologic, and behavioral symptoms beginning in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and resolving within a couple of days of the onset of menses.
2, 3, 4. Incorrect. All of these are complaints associated with PMS. However, the timing reflect-ed in these statements is inaccurate. PMS begins in the luteal phase and resolves as menses occurs. It does not start after menses has begun.

Answer to Question 2

4
1. Incorrect. The tonic neck reflex occurs when the infant extends the leg of the side that the infant's head is simultaneously turned to.
2. Incorrect. The glabellar reflex is elicited by tapping on the infant's head while the eyes are open. A characteristic response is that the newborn will blink for the first few taps.
3. Incorrect. The Babinski reflex occurs when the sole of the foot is stroked upward along the lateral aspect of the sole then across the ball of the foot. A positive response is when all the toes hyperextend with dorsiflexion of the big toe.
4. Correct. The characteristics displayed by the infant are associated with a positive Moro reflex.
