Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: This measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) detects glucose binding on the red blood cell (RBC) membrane and is expressed as a percentage. It measures glucose for the life of the RBC, which is 120 days. The fasting blood glucose level should be lower than 130 mg/dL. The urine should be free of both ketones and urine.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of tissue outside the uterus that resembles the endometrium in both structure and function. The response of this tissue to the stimulation of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle is identical to that of the endometrium. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain without identified pathology. Mittelschmerz re-fers to pelvic pain that occurs midway between menstrual periods, and amenorrhea is the cessa-tion of menstruation for at least three cycles or 6 months in a woman who has an established a pattern of menstruation. Amenorrhea can be caused by a variety of causes.
