Question 2 of 4
The nurse is providing care to a 35-year-old female patient who complains of low back pain, pain with defecation, pelvic pressure, and premenstrual spotting. The health care provider has prescribed the hormonal therapy Lupron for this condition. What is the goal of this prescription?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The goal of prescribing Lupron for this patient is to suppress menstruation and further growth of the tissue. Lupron is a hormonal therapy that works by suppressing the production of certain hormones that stimulate the growth of endometrial tissue. In conditions like endometriosis, where the endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, suppressing menstruation can help alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, back pain, and pelvic pressure. By halting the growth of the tissue, Lupron can help manage the symptoms associated with endometriosis and improve the patient's quality of life.
