caused by:
a.
anatomic abnormalities.
b.
type 1 diabetes mellitus.
c.
lack of exercise.

2. When a nurse is counseling a woman for primary dysmenorrhea, which nonpharmacologic
intervention might be recommended?
a.
Increasing the intake of red meat and simple carbohydrates
b.
Reducing the intake of diuretic foods such as peaches and asparagus
c.
Temporarily substituting physical activity for a sedentary lifestyle
d.
Using a heating pad on the abdNoUmReSnINtGoTrBel.CieOvMe cramping
ANS: D
Heat minimizes cramping by increasing vasodilation and muscle relaxation and minimizing
uterine ischemia. Dietary changes such as eating less red meat may be recommended for
women experiencing dysmenorrhea. Increasing the intake of diuretics, including natural
diuretics such as asparagus, cranberry juice, peaches, parsley, and watermelon, may help ease
the symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea. Exercise has been found to help relieve
menstrual discomfort through increased vasodilation and subsequent decreased ischemia.

4. A woman complains of severe abdominal and pelvic pain around the time of menstruation that
has gotten worse over the last 5 years. She also complains of pain during intercourse and has
tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for the past 18 months. These symptoms are most likely
related to:
a.
endometriosis.
b.
PMS.
c.
primary dysmenorrhea.
d.
secondary dysmenorrhea.
ANS: A
Symptoms of endometriosis can change over time and may not reflect the extent of the
disease. Major symptoms include dysmenorrhea and deep pelvic dyspareunia (painful
intercourse). Impaired fertility may result from adhesions caused by endometriosis. Although
endometriosis may be associated with secondary dysmenorrhea, it is not a cause of primary
dysmenorrhea or PMS. In addition, this woman is complaining of dyspareunia and infertility,
which are associated with endometriosis not with PMS or primary or secondary
dysmenorrhea.

c.
should be injected into subcutaneous tissue bid.
d.
can cause her to experience some hot flashes and bone loss.

Nafarelin is a GnRH agonist, and its side effects are similar to effects of menopause. The
hypoestrogenism effect results in hot flashes and bone loss. Nafarelin is a GnRH agonist that
suppresses the secretion of GnRH and is administered twice daily by nasal spray.

Menorrhagia is defined as excessive menstrual bleeding, in either duration or amount. Heavy
bleeding can have many causes. The amount of bleeding and its effect on daily activities
should be evaluated. A menstrual flow lasting 5 to 6 days is a normal finding. Mittlestaining, a
small amount of bleeding or spotting that occurs at the time of ovulation (14 days before onset
of the next menses), is considered normal. During her reproductive years, a woman may have
physiologic variations in her menstrual cycle. Variations in the length of a menstrual cycle are
considered normal.

c.
pregnancy.
d.
eating disorders.
ANS: C

c.
menorrhagia is a common finding.
d.
the woman is unlikely to become pregnant as long as the fibroids are in her uterus.
ANS: C
The major symptoms associated with fibroids are menorrhagia and the physical effects
produced by large myomas. Fibroids are benign tumors of the smooth muscle of the uterus,
and their etiology is unknown. Fibroids are estrogen sensitive and shrink as levels of estrogen
decline. Fibroids occur in 25% of women of reproductive age and are seen in 2% of pregnant
