Answer to Question 1

3. This medication stimulates leuteinizing hormone (LH )..

Rationale:
Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH, resulting in the maturation of more ovarian follicles than would normally occur. Clomiphene (Clomid) does not increase estrogen levels or stimulate FSH and gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Answer to Question 2

2. Foods such as chocolate and potato chips do not cause pimples or cellulitis.

Rationale:
Studies have shown that foods do not cause acne and, therefore, cellulitis. Antibiotics are the best way to treat, not prevent, cellulitis. Popping pimples drives the infection deeper into the skin and may cause more serious infections.
