Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Metformin decreases androgen levels, which helps to regulate periods. It does not induce ovulation but increases the possibility of ovulation by its antiandrogenic effects. Clomiphene citrate promotes a dominant follicle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Menorrhagia is defined as regular uterine bleeding lasting more than 7 days with heavy bleeding. Metrorrhagia is irregular uterine bleeding lasting more than 7 days with heavy bleeding. Menorrhea is normal uterine bleeding. Menometrorrhagia is a combination of menorrhagia and metrorrhagia.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
