Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) provides care and education to people in need in the United States, especially those in medically underserved areas. The American Red Cross is a large national program that uses nurse volunteers to assist with well-baby and immunization clinics, as well as to provide first-aid services for community events and during disasters. Habitat for Humanity provides housing for the underprivileged, and Head Start is a paid position that employs LPNs and RNs in schools as assistant instructors in programs for very young children.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Amenorrhea is the absence or abnormal stoppage of menses (menstruation). Women who are starving often experience amenorrhea, a serious symptom, which is one sign of anorexia or bulimia. Menorrhagia is excessive bleeding in amount or duration during menstruation. Dysmenorrhea is painful menstruation. Neither of these disorders is related to anorexia. Mastalgia or breast pain is a common symptom of PMS.
