Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Patient expectations. In a nursing health history, the nurse focuses on understanding the patient's expectations, needs, and preferences to provide patient-centered care. This step is essential for building rapport, establishing trust, and tailoring care plans to meet the patient's individual needs. Incorrect choices: A: Nurse’s concerns - This is not the primary focus during a nursing health history. The nurse should prioritize understanding the patient's perspective. C: Current treatment orders - While important, this is typically addressed during the assessment phase, not specifically in the nursing health history. D: Nurse’s goals for the patient - The nurse's goals should align with the patient's goals, making understanding the patient's expectations crucial.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: D is correct because cleanliness helps prevent infections. Washing hands and keeping breasts clean reduces the risk of mastitis and abscesses. A is incorrect because alternating breasts is a common practice in breastfeeding. B is incorrect as frequent nursing helps maintain milk supply and prevent engorgement, reducing the risk of mastitis. C is incorrect as breastfeeding itself is not a cause of mastitis or abscess; stopping abruptly can lead to further complications like engorgement.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Peritonitis. Peritonitis is a major complication of peritoneal dialysis due to infection of the peritoneum. It can lead to serious consequences if not treated promptly. The nurse should monitor for signs of peritonitis such as abdominal pain, cloudy dialysate, fever, and increased white blood cell count. Internal hemorrhage (A), hydronephrosis (B), and ecchymosis (C) are not major complications specific to peritoneal dialysis. Internal hemorrhage can occur but is less common. Hydronephrosis is more related to obstruction of the ureters. Ecchymosis refers to bruising and is not directly associated with peritoneal dialysis.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 45-year old woman who has never been pregnant. This client has the highest risk of ovarian cancer due to nulliparity, which is a known risk factor. Women who have never been pregnant have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer compared to those who have had children. Other choices are incorrect because contraceptives actually reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, having children can slightly decrease the risk, and having a child at a young age does not increase the risk significantly.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The modified Trendelenburg position involves placing the client with their legs elevated higher than their head. This position promotes venous return to the heart, increasing preload and cardiac output, thereby leading to an increase in blood pressure. Elevating the legs helps to reduce peripheral edema and improve circulation. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect because the Trendelenburg position does not directly affect the respiratory rate. Choice C is incorrect as the position is not intended to increase heart rate but rather improve venous return. Choice D is also incorrect as the primary goal of the Trendelenburg position is not to decrease blood loss, although it may help in some cases by improving circulation.
