Question 1 of 5

A couple asks the nurse about risks of several birth control methods. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Oral contraceptives should not be used by smokers. The use of oral contraceptives in a woman who smokes increases her risk of cardiovascular problems, such as thromboembolic disorders.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client with portal hypertension. Which of the following findings would the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ascites. Portal hypertension can occur in a client with right-sided heart failure or cirrhosis of the liver. Portal hypertension can lead to ascites due to the increased portal pressure as well as a lowered colloid osmotic pressure because of low albumin. When liver functioning deteriorates, protein metabolism suffers.
