I feel like I’ve seen gynecomastia listed somewhere too, but I can’t recall if it’s a major concern with this medication.

I think I came across a practice question that mentioned alopecia as a side effect. Is that right?

I remember reading about Divalproex Sodium and its side effects, but I’m not sure if weight gain is the most common one.

Oligomenorrhea sounds familiar, but I’m not confident if it’s specifically linked to Divalproex Sodium.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The specification and graph options seem straightforward, and I think I can apply my knowledge of test design principles to identify the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Scrum has something to do with short iterations, but I'm not totally clear on how that specifically limits the risk of doing something wrong. I'll have to think this through a bit more.
