Answer to Question 1

D
Surgery reduces symptoms of endometriosis and improves fertility; drugs used to treat endome-triosis only reduce discomfort. Combination oral contraceptives only treat symptoms; they do not improve fertility. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists cannot be used long term because of side effects of osteoporosis and hot flashes. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are first-line agents for endometriosis pain.

Answer to Question 2

B
This patient shows signs of niacin deficiency. Side effects of niacin deficiency include flushing, dizziness, and nausea secondary to vasodilation. Abdominal cramps, diarrhea, migraines, and numbness of extremities are not side effects of niacin deficiency.
