Explanation:
1. A long, leisurely soak in a warm tub promotes menstrual blood flow and relieves cramps by relaxing the muscles.
2. If working with teens and preteens, keeping a variety of pads and tampons on hand helps these young girls become familiar with the options available for dealing with menstruation.
3. Conditions such as vaginitis produce a foul-smelling discharge that women often describe as having a fishy odor. This is not expected or normal.
4. The average flow is approximately 25 to 60 mL per period.
5. Because of the potential for developing an infection, a woman should wash her hands before inserting a fresh tampon and should avoid touching the tip of the tampon when unwrapping it or before insertion. Hand washing should also occur after using the commode.
