Solution

  1. The priority nursing diagnosis for Andrea would be "Pain related to uterine cramping from menstruation". This is because she was advised to use a new analgesic, which is a pain reliever. The other options do not directly relate to the information given.

  2. Based on Andrea's menstrual cycle, she should be taught that "Her pattern is normal for a late adolescent or young adult female". A menstrual cycle can range from 21 to 35 days, and menstrual bleeding can last 2 to 7 days. Therefore, Andrea's cycle is within the normal range.

  3. Excessive menstrual bleeding is termed "Menorrhagia". Menorrhagia is a condition characterized by heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.

  4. Ibuprofen is usually an effective drug to relieve menstrual pain because "It reduces inflammation as well as reducing pain". Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
