Answer to Question 1

D
Menotropins are used when gonadotropin secretion by the pituitary is insufficient to provide adequate ovarian stimulation. Candidates must have ovaries capable of responding to FSH and LH. Metformin is used for hyperinsulinemia. Women with excessive prolactin secretion are treated with cabergoline. Menotropins contain equal amounts of LH and FSH and act directly on the ovaries, so the pituitary's inability to produce these hormones is not a factor for beginning treatment with this drug.

Answer to Question 2

D
Secondary progressive MS occurs when a patient with relapsing-remitting MS develops steadily worsening dysfunction with or without plateaus or acute exacerbations, or minor remissions. Within 10 to 20 years of onset, about 50 of patients with MS will develop this type. Primary progressive MS occurs when symptoms grow progressively more intense from the onset. Pro-gressive-relapsing MS is similar to primary progressive MS, but with acute exacerbations imposed on the steadily worsening symptoms. Relapsing-remitting MS is the most common initial presentation, which is characterized by recurrent, clearly defined episodes of symptoms with pe-riods of remission with relapse occurring approximately twice every 3 years.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
