Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A 6-month or more cessation of menses after a period of menstruation is secondary amenorrhea.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because torsion may result from trauma to the scrotum, school nurses are likely to encounter such injuries and should refer the child or adolescent for medical evaluation immediately. It would not be appropriate to apply warmth, elevate the legs, or tell the adolescent to wear a scrotum-protecting guard because these actions could delay treatment.
