Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Indications for a pelvic examination include amenorrhea, irregular uterine or vaginal bleeding, and dysmenorrhea unresponsive to therapy. Impaired fertility is not an indication for a pelvic examination; it can be a result of endometriosis. Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) is not an indication for a pelvic examination but may be a sign of endometriosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Gynecomastia may be drug induced; calcium channel blockers, cancer chemotherapeutic agents, histamine-2 receptor blockers, and oral ketoconazoles have all been shown to cause the disorder. Oral antibiotics have not been shown to cause gynecomastia.
