Question 1 of 5

The nurse is evaluating a transgender female client in the emergency department who is taking estrogen therapy. Which of the following assessment findings would be of priority concern for the nurse?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Intermittent mild headaches can be a side effect of estrogen therapy, but they are generally not life-threatening. While they should be monitored and managed, they do not constitute an immediate priority compared to more severe symptoms. Erectile dysfunction is a common side effect of estrogen therapy in transgender females. Although it can affect quality of life, it is not an urgent medical concern and does not require immediate intervention. Dyspnea (difficulty breathing) and chest pain are potentially serious symptoms that could indicate cardiovascular issues, including pulmonary embolism, which is a known risk associated with estrogen therapy. These symptoms require immediate attention and intervention to rule out life-threatening conditions. Elevated liver function tests can occur with estrogen therapy and should be monitored over time. However, while they indicate a need for further investigation and possible adjustment of therapy, they are not as immediately critical as symptoms of dyspnea and chest pain.
