Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Feedback:
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a multifaceted disorder, and central to its pathogenesis are hyperandrogenemia and hyperinsulinemia. PCOS is associated with obesity, hyperinsulinemia, elevated luteinizing hormone levels (linked to ovulation), elevated androgen levels (virilization), hirsutism (male-pattern hair growth), follicular atresia (ovarian growth failure), ovarian growth and cyst formation, anovulation (failure to ovulate), infertility, diabetes type 2, sleep apnea, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation or irregular periods), metabolic syndrome characterized by abdominal obesity (waist circumference >35 in.), dyslipidemia (triglyceride level >150 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C level <50 mg>

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
An erection lasting more than 4 hours can occur when taking sildenafil citrate (Viagra). This condition can lead to penile tissue damage and should be reported to a health care provider. A change in vision should be reported to the health care provider. Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is not birth control. This medication should be taken up to one dose per day.
