Question 1 of 5

The nurse is screening clients for those at risk for developing endometrial cancer. Which of the following clients is at highest risk for developing endometrial cancer?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) increase endometrial cancer risk due to excess estrogen from adipose tissue and anovulation. Ectopic pregnancy and births are not significant risk factors.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client who had a thyroidectomy 12 hours ago and is reporting anxiety, tingling around the mouth, and muscle twitching in the hand. Which of the following actions would be a priority for the nurse to take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Anxiety, tingling, and twitching suggest hypocalcemia from parathyroid damage during thyroidectomy, requiring urgent calcium level assessment. Edema, blood gases, and vocal quality are less urgent.

Question 3 of 5

A 4-month-old infant is being treated for talipes equinovarus (clubfoot). The nurse should include which of the following in the priority teaching plan for the parents?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Assisting the client to breathe into a paper bag addresses hyperventilation caused by aspirin toxicity, which can lead to respiratory alkalosis in the initial stages.

Question 4 of 5

The obstetric client is determined to have oligohydramnios. Which fetal anomaly is associated with oligohydramnios?
