Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Because the patient is receiving a contraceptive that could cause amenorrhea, and the patient's menstrual cycle is 2 weeks late, the first thing that should be done is a pregnancy test to determine if the patient is pregnant. The results of this test will determine the next course of action. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is a pregnancy category X medication, which means it should not be administered to someone who is pregnant. It is unclear if the patient was already pregnant when the last dose was provided 6 weeks prior to the current situation. It is premature to provide prenatal counseling. Depending on the results of the pregnancy test, the nurse may need to explain side effects of the contraceptive which include amenorrhea.

Answer to Question 2

B
Milk is sometimes tolerated in cooked form or in fermented dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. Lactose enzyme tables or lactose-treated milk may help alleviate the problem.
