Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Treatment of primary dysmenorrhea is symptomatic. Administration of NSAIDs 1 to 2 days before the beginning of menses prevents the formation of prostaglandins and helps reduce discomfort and inflammation. Warm baths and relaxation techniques also help reduce pain. In severe cases, oral contraceptives may be used. Antibiotic therapy is not used to treat dysmenorrhea.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
Feedback:
The nurse should observe for neck vein distention or muffled heart sounds, which could indicate cardiac tamponade. These are serious signs that must be reported at once.
