Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a teaching plan for a polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) support group. One of the teaching points will include diet and weight loss to decrease hirsutism and acne. What is the reasoning for this rationale?
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: The correct answer is missing from the choices provided. However, I can provide a rationale for each choice: A: Diet and exercise can help promote weight loss, which can decrease hyperandrogenemia by reducing insulin resistance and decreasing androgen levels. B: While diet and exercise can decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes in women with PCOS, this is not directly related to reducing hirsutism and acne symptoms. C: Diet and exercise can improve lipid levels and reduce cardiovascular risk in women with PCOS, but this is not the primary goal when addressing hirsutism and acne. D: Diet and exercise can improve ovulation and menstrual regularity, which may help with fertility in women with PCOS, but this is not directly related to reducing hirsutism and acne. In summary, the correct answer should focus on how diet and weight loss can specifically impact hirsutism and acne in women with PCOS.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 25-year-old female patient when the patient becomes tearful. The patient states that she has thin milky discharge from her nipples and two small masses on her left breast. She has lost over 40 pounds in the past year due to intensive exercises and finds that she needs to wear a sports bra during her sessions. The patient states that she is afraid that she will become the first member of her family to have breast cancer. Besides a negative mammogram, what other symptoms would correlate with this being a benign finding? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Milky discharge from nipples. Milky discharge from nipples is often a benign finding and can be related to hormonal changes or medications. In this case, the patient's description of thin milky discharge in the context of her age, weight loss, and fear of breast cancer makes it more likely to be benign. The other choices are incorrect because extensive weight loss and painful masses could be concerning signs of malignancy, and mood swings are not directly related to breast cancer diagnosis. Therefore, the presence of milky discharge from the nipples in this patient's case would be more indicative of a benign finding.
