Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: One size of the NuvaRing fits virtually all women.
Rationale 2: The ring is left in place for 3 weeks and then removed for 1 week to allow for withdrawal bleeding.
Rationale 3: Replacement rings should be kept in the refrigerator to maintain integrity.
Rationale 4: The contraceptive ring provides a low-dose, sustained-release hormonal contraceptive.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as cramps without underlying disease.
Rationale 2: Secondary dysmenorrhea is associated with pathology of the reproductive tract and usually appears after menstruation has been established. Conditions that most frequently cause secondary dysmenorrhea include ovarian cysts and the presence of an intrauterine device.
Rationale 3: Menorrhagia is excessive, profuse flow.
Rationale 4: Hypermenorrhea is an abnormally long menstrual flow.
