Which factors contribute to a woman’s perception of her body? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B

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 2 of 5
According to the standard staging classification for breast cancer, which criteria reflects stage 2 breast cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it aligns with the criteria for stage 2 breast cancer in the standard staging classification. In stage 2, the tumor is typically larger than 2 cm but not larger than 5 cm, there is no regional lymph node metastasis, and there are no distant metastases. Option A is incorrect because the tumor size is smaller than 2 cm, which does not meet the criteria for stage 2. Option B is incorrect as it describes no evidence of tumor with lymph node metastasis, which does not represent stage 2. Option C is incorrect as the tumor size is larger than 5 cm, exceeding the criteria for stage 2.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement is not true regarding breast reconstruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: 1. Breast reconstruction is not always done immediately to allow for healing post-mastectomy. 2. Immediate reconstruction may not be suitable for all patients due to various factors. 3. Delayed reconstruction is also a valid option and can be performed at a later time. 4. Therefore, the statement that breast reconstruction is always done immediately along with the mastectomy is not true. Summary: A: True - Breast reconstruction aims to promote symmetry and preserve body image. C: True - Breast reconstruction does not affect survival rates or interfere with treatments. D: True - Breast reconstruction generally has low morbidity and high patient satisfaction.
Question 4 of 5
Mastectomy is usually recommended for which women?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Those who have multiple tumors in the breast in several quadrants. Mastectomy is usually recommended for patients with multiple tumors in several quadrants to ensure complete removal of all cancerous tissue. This choice is correct because it addresses the need for more extensive surgery to effectively treat the cancer. A: Those who have not had radiation to the breast - Incorrect, as radiation history is not the sole determinant for recommending mastectomy. C: Those with no extensive DCIS - Incorrect, as the presence of DCIS alone may not warrant a mastectomy. D: Those with a small tumor compared to breast volume - Incorrect, as tumor size relative to breast volume is not the primary factor in determining the need for mastectomy in cases of multiple tumors in several quadrants.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching a woman receiving adjuvant hormonal therapy on how she can manage her side effects and symptoms. Which education and teaching will the nurse include? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Vaginal dryness is a common side effect of hormonal therapy. Using vaginal moisturizers like Replens or vitamin E suppositories can help alleviate this symptom by providing moisture and lubrication. This intervention can improve the woman's comfort and quality of life during treatment. Choice A is incorrect because wearing layered clothing and avoiding caffeine and spicy foods are strategies typically recommended for managing hot flashes, not vaginal dryness. Choice C is incorrect as managing nausea and vomiting with a bland diet and medication is not directly related to the management of side effects of hormonal therapy like vaginal dryness. Choice D is incorrect as warm baths and nonsteroidal analgesics are more commonly used to ease musculoskeletal symptoms, not specifically for managing vaginal dryness.
