LSAT for Teachers

We'd all get into law school if we got questions like these:

In a classroom there are exactly seven students. Three are boys--Antwan, Bobby, and Carlos. Four are girls--Daisy, Edwina, Fiona, and Gertrude. These students all either want to go to the bathroom or want to see the nurse, but not both. The following conditions apply:

- If a student has "girl problems" or is "about to pee on himself," then the student wants to go to the bathroom
- If a student has a papercut, then the student wants to see the nurse
- If Daisy has "girl problems," then Edwina and Fiona have "girl problems"
- If Gertrude does not have a papercut, then Fiona, but not Bobby, has a papercut
- Exactly one boy is "about to pee on himself"

Now, which of the following must be true?
a.) Fiona wants to see the nurse
b.) Daisy and Edwina want to go to the bathroom
c.) At least three students want to go to the bathroom
d.) No more than four students want to go to the bathroom
e.) No more than five students want to see the nurse
