Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Oral contraceptives are used as treatment for PCOS to restore menstrual irregularities and treat acne. Ovulation induction agents such as Clomid are used to induce ovulation. Glucophage is used to improve insulin uptake. Mechanical hair removal methods are used to treat hirsutism.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Instructions for medication safety in the home should include never taking medication in front of children, using a reminder sheet to keep track of medication doses, drinking a full glass of water with medication doses, and keeping all medication in a safe place above the height for a child to reach. Medications should not be placed in empty candy or mint containers because children might think that these items are candy and might accidentally ingest someone else's prescribed medication. This could lead to an accidental poisoning in the home.
