A nurse is providing teaching to a group of women about risk factors for ovarian cancer. Which of the following should the nurse include? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A. Nulliparity: Women who have never been pregnant (nulliparity) are at an increased risk for ovarian cancer compared to women who have had full-term pregnancies. This is thought to be due to the protective effect of pregnancy and childbirth on the ovaries.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The advantage of the cervical cap over the diaphragm is that it typically has a lower failure rate in preventing pregnancy. Failure rates for contraceptive methods refer to the percentage of women who become pregnant within the first year of typical use. The cervical cap is generally associated with a lower failure rate compared to the diaphragm due to its snugger fit and ability to cover the cervix more effectively, resulting in better protection against sperm entering the uterus. This makes the cervical cap a more reliable option for women seeking effective contraception.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Swelling in the hands and face may indicate preeclampsia, requiring immediate blood pressure assessment.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Ice packs help reduce swelling and discomfort in the perineal area during the initial postpartum period.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: This response indicates an understanding of the importance of monitoring heart rate during exercise to ensure it stays within a safe range for the pregnant woman and the baby.
