Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Patients prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should be instructed to take the medication 30 minutes before meals. This is because PPIs work best when taken on an empty stomach, allowing them to inhibit the gastric proton pump effectively and reduce acid production in anticipation of food intake. Taking the medication before meals ensures optimal absorption and effectiveness in controlling symptoms of GERD.

Rationale: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe condition characterized by widespread inflammation in the lungs leading to increased pulmonary vascular permeability, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and respiratory failure. In ARDS, the alveolar-capillary barrier is disrupted, resulting in fluid accumulation in the alveoli and impaired gas exchange.

Rationale: A family history of breast cancer is a known risk factor for the development of ovarian cancer. Individuals with a close relative (such as a mother, sister, or daughter) who has had breast cancer have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. This increased risk is due to shared genetic factors that can predispose individuals to both breast and ovarian cancers. Therefore, having a family history of breast cancer is an important risk factor to consider in the assessment of ovarian cancer risk.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Even though Ms. C's self-esteem and weight have improved, her continued negative self-talk and use of derogatory terms like "fatty" indicate a distorted perception of her body image. This distortion needs to be addressed and corrected for her overall long-term psychological well-being. By focusing on addressing the disturbed body image, the nursing team can help Ms. C develop a more positive self-perception and maintain the progress she has made towards recovery from anorexia nervosa. It is important to prioritize interventions that promote a healthier and more realistic body image in order to support her ongoing recovery journey.
