A nurse is caring for a middle adult client who has just received the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. In taking a nursing history, which of the following manifestations is likely to be reported by this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Postmenopausal bleeding is a hallmark symptom of endometrial cancer. Any vaginal bleeding that occurs after menopause should be evaluated by a healthcare provider, as it can be an early sign of endometrial cancer. Unilateral swelling on the posterior of the vulva is not typically associated with endometrial cancer. Extreme abdominal pain with intercourse is more related to conditions like endometriosis. Green, malodorous vaginal discharge suggests infection, not endometrial cancer.
