Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

a. This does not follow the Nagele's rule.

b. Nagele's rule is a method to estimate the expected delivery date by adding 7 days and subtracting 3 months from the first day of the last normal menstrual period. In this case, adding 7 days to March 13 gives March 20, and subtracting 3 months gives December 20. Then, adding one year gives December 20, 2022.
c. This does not follow the Nagele's rule.

d. This does not follow the Nagele's rule.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

a. Not every woman ovulates on day 14 of her cycle, and the basal temperature only rises after ovulation, not before.
b. The basal temperature is the lowest body temperature during a 24-hour period.

It is usually measured first thing in the morning before any physical activity or eating. The basal temperature can indicate when a woman is ovulating, as it tends to rise slightly (about 0.5°F or 0.3°C) after ovulation and remain elevated until the next menstrual period. By tracking the basal temperature over several cycles, a woman can identify her most fertile days and plan accordingly.
c. Intercourse can affect the body temperature and give a false reading.

d. The basal temperature is influenced by factors such as food, drink, stress, and activity, so it should be measured before any of these occur.

A. Endometriosis B. Primary dysmenorrhea. C. PMS D. Secondary dysmenorrhea

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

a. Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing severe pain and other symptoms.
b. Primary dysmenorrhea is the term used to describe painful menstrual cramps that are not caused by another condition.
c. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical and emotional symptoms that occur in the days or weeks before a woman's period.
d. Secondary dysmenorrhea is the term used to describe painful menstrual cramps that are caused by another condition, such as endometriosis.
