Ethical Issues in Maternal Newborn Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 33-year-old female patient who comes to the family practice clinic with complaints of excessive menstrual bleeding with bleeding between periods for the past 6 months. The health care provider has performed an endometrial biopsy and has discontinued the patient's oral contraceptives. What is the rationale for this treatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct rationale for discontinuing the oral contraceptives in a patient with excessive menstrual bleeding and bleeding between periods is that this condition is often associated with hyperplasia of the endometrial tissue, which can be exacerbated with the use of oral contraceptives. Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition characterized by the abnormal thickening of the lining of the uterus, which can lead to heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Estrogen contained in oral contraceptives can contribute to this thickening of the endometrial tissue, potentially worsening the patient's symptoms. By discontinuing the oral contraceptives, the provider aims to reduce the estrogen levels in the body, which may help alleviate the symptoms associated with endometrial hyperplasia. An endometrial biopsy is also important in this case to further investigate the underlying cause of the abnormal bleeding.
