Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Prostaglandin inhibitors such as ibuprofen (Motrin) are most effective for menstrual pain because they reduce inflammation as well as relieve pain. Activity reduces the discomfort of menstrual pain. Eating sour foods does not influence menstruation. Menstruation does not affect hair care needs.

B, C, E
Feedback

nervous system, such as infections (meningitis), head trauma, and brain
tumors.
