Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 64-year-old female patient. The patient states that she is able to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) by drinking a quart of cranberry juice a day. Which health condition, if present in this patient, contraindicates the use of cranberry juice?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cranberry juice has the potential to interact with warfarin, a common blood thinner prescribed for conditions such as atrial fibrillation. Cranberry juice contains components that can inhibit the metabolism of warfarin in the body, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. Therefore, patients taking warfarin should avoid or limit their intake of cranberry juice to prevent potential negative interactions. In this case, the patient's use of warfarin to manage atrial fibrillation contraindicates the consumption of cranberry juice in large quantities. It is essential to consult a healthcare provider before making any changes to the diet, especially when taking medications that may interact with certain foods or beverages.
