A nurse is assessing a client who has posttraumatic stress disorder following military combat. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Choice A rationale:

Clomiphene is used to induce ovulation in women with infertility. Hot flashes are a common side effect of clomiphene due to its impact on hormone levels. Clomiphene is a medication that stimulates ovulation by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This causes an increase in the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulate the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles. One of the common side effects of clomiphene is hot flashes, which are caused by the sudden drop in estrogen levels. Hot flashes can be mild or severe, and can occur at any time of the day or night. They usually last for a few minutes and can be accompanied by sweating, palpitations, anxiety, or nausea.

Choice B rationale:

Changes in taste are not a typical side effect of clomiphene.

Choice C rationale:

A dry cough is not typically associated with clomiphene.

Choice D rationale:

Migraine with aura is not typically associated with clomiphene.

Choice A rationale:

Placing objects within the client's reach on the right side helps to compensate for the hemiparesis and facilitates the client's ability to independently access items.

Choice B rationale:

Encouraging the client to repeat phonetic sounds might be more appropriate for speech therapy and may not directly address hemiparesis.

Choice C rationale:

Pausing to allow the client time to respond to questions is a communication technique but does not address the physical effects of hemiparesis.

Choice D rationale:

Frequently orienting the client to time, place, and surroundings is important for cognitive support but does not specifically address hemiparesis.
