Question 1 of 5
Phototherapy is instituted for an infant. What is the most appropriate nursing action for the infant having phototherapy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Keep the infant's eyes covered. This is important during phototherapy to protect the infant's eyes from potential damage due to exposure to light. Direct light can harm the infant's developing eyes, so covering them is crucial. Choice A: Cover the infant's head with a hat - This is not necessary for phototherapy as the focus should be on protecting the eyes, not the head. Choice B: Dress the infant lightly in a T-shirt - While dressing the infant lightly is recommended, it is not as critical as protecting the eyes. Choice D: Reposition the infant at least every 4 to 8 hours - Repositioning is important for preventing pressure ulcers but is not directly related to the safety of the eyes during phototherapy.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is performing a gynecological health history interview on a 17-year-old Caucasian adolescent. The girl appears anxious and states, 'I found a lump in my left breast, and I am worried that it may be cancer.' What factors should the nurse be aware of prior to responding to this patient? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because breast fibroadenomas are indeed the most common benign breast tumor in women after puberty, typically occurring between the ages of 15 and 30. The nurse should be aware of this fact when assessing the patient's concern about the lump. Fibroadenomas are non-cancerous and do not increase the risk of breast cancer. Choice B is incorrect because fibroadenomas are more common in Caucasian women, not African American women. Choice C is incorrect because young women like the patient are generally at low risk for breast cancer. Choice D is also incorrect because fibroadenomas are not caused by cancerous conditions.
Question 3 of 5
Which are major risk factors for breast cancer? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because having a personal history of breast cancer, a family history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives, or both are major risk factors for developing breast cancer. This is due to the presence of genetic mutations that increase the likelihood of developing the disease. Choices A and B are not specific risk factors for breast cancer, although being female and increasing age are associated with higher risk. Choice D, high-fat diet and alcohol consumption, are not considered major risk factors for breast cancer.
Question 4 of 5
Which factors contribute to a woman’s perception of her body? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sexuality. This factor contributes to a woman's perception of her body as it influences how she views herself in terms of attractiveness, desirability, and self-image. Sexuality plays a significant role in shaping body image and self-esteem. A: Role of motherhood - While motherhood can impact body image, it is not a universal factor for all women. C: Relationships at work - While work relationships can influence self-esteem, they may not directly impact body perception. D: Family and social relationships - While important, they may not directly relate to body perception as much as sexuality does. In summary, sexuality plays a crucial role in shaping a woman's perception of her body compared to the other factors listed.
Question 5 of 5
A 40-year-old woman has just been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Which of the following are common reactions? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Anxiety is common due to the impact on family, body image, disability, and pain. Concern about treatment disruptions is valid but not as common as anxiety. Fear of death is a general fear but may not be as prominent as anxiety. Decisional conflict can occur but is more specific to treatment options rather than a common reaction.
