A home health nurse is assisting in the care of a client following a modified radical mastectomy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates effective coping?

A. "My provider might prescribe a glucocorticoid regimen to decrease my risk for a stroke": This is incorrect as glucocorticoids are not typically used to reduce stroke risk; they are more commonly used to manage inflammation and other conditions.
B. "Having a total cholesterol level below 200 mg/dL increases my risk for a stroke": This is incorrect because having a total cholesterol level below 200 mg/dL is generally considered desirable and lowers the risk of stroke.
C. "My risk for a stroke increases if my HbA1c level is 6 percent or less": This is incorrect because an HbA1c level of 6 percent or less is generally considered well-managed for diabetes and does not increase stroke risk; higher levels are more concerning.
D. "I can decrease my risk for a stroke by losing excess weight": This is correct as losing excess weight can reduce the risk of stroke by improving overall cardiovascular health and managing diabetes.

A. Orthopneic: This position is used for clients with respiratory distress and is not suitable for sigmoidoscopy.
B. Knee-chest: This is correct as the knee-chest position is commonly used for sigmoidoscopy to provide optimal access to the rectum and sigmoid colon.
C. Trendelenburg: This position, with the head lower than the feet, is typically used for shock or hypotension, not for sigmoidoscopy.
D. Prone: The prone position is not appropriate for sigmoidoscopy as it does not allow adequate access to the rectum and sigmoid colon.
