Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving treatment for stage IV ovarian cancer and asks the nurse to discuss her prognosis. The client plans to have aggressive surgical, radiation, and chemotherapy treatments. Which of the following prognoses should the nurse discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Poor. In stage IV ovarian cancer, the cancer has spread beyond the ovaries to distant organs. Prognosis is generally poor due to the advanced stage of the disease. Aggressive treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life but are unlikely to cure the cancer. Discussing a poor prognosis with the client allows for realistic expectations and informed decision-making.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they suggest a better prognosis which is not typical for stage IV ovarian cancer.
