Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The client with endometriosis is often asymptomatic, but clinical manifestations include painful urination, pain before and during menstrual periods, pain during or after sexual intercourse, infertility, depression, fatigue, painful bowel movements, chronic pelvic pain, hypermenorrhea, pelvic adhesions, irregular and more frequent menses, and premenstrual spotting. Hot flashes may be associated with premenstrual syndrome or menopause. Fluid retention is associated with premenstrual syndrome. Fever would suggest an infection.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bone mass declines to such an extent that fractures occur with minimal trauma. Increasing calcium and vitamin D intake is a major preventive measure. Other measures to reduce the risk include engaging in weight-bearing exercise such as walking. Swimming, although a beneficial exercise, is not a weight-bearing exercise. Taking vitamin A supplements would have no effect on preventing bone loss. Following a low-fat diet would be helpful in reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease.
