Which manifestations are associated with this condition? Select all that apply.

Increased awareness.

Chest pain.

Dyspnea.

Angioedema.

Hypertension.

Urticaria.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C,D,F

Choice A rationale

Increased awareness is not a manifestation of anaphylactic shock. Anaphylactic shock typically causes confusion or loss of consciousness due to decreased blood flow to the brain.

Choice B rationale

Chest pain can occur during anaphylactic shock due to the body’s severe allergic reaction and the strain it places on the cardiovascular system.

Choice C rationale

Dyspnea, or difficulty breathing, is a common manifestation of anaphylactic shock. The airways can become constricted, making it hard to breathe.

Choice D rationale

Angioedema, or swelling of the deeper layers of the skin, often occurs during anaphylactic shock. It can affect the face, throat, and other areas.

Choice E rationale

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is not a typical manifestation of anaphylactic shock. Anaphylactic shock usually causes hypotension, or low blood pressure.

Choice F rationale

Urticaria, or hives, is a common skin reaction during anaphylactic shock. It presents as red, itchy welts on the skin.

Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A family history of breast cancer is a significant risk factor because genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can be inherited and increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.

Choice B rationale

Multiparity (having multiple pregnancies) is generally considered to reduce the risk of breast cancer. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding lower the number of menstrual cycles a woman has, reducing her lifetime exposure to estrogen.

Choice C rationale

Exposure of the chest to high-dose radiation, especially during childhood or young adulthood, increases the risk of breast cancer. Radiation can cause mutations in breast cells, leading to cancer.

Choice D rationale

Previous cancer of the breast, uterus, or ovaries increases the risk of developing breast cancer. This is due to shared risk factors and the possibility of metastasis or recurrence.

A. Notify the surgeon if white drainage develops on the eyelids. B. Sleep on the abdomen to facilitate wound healing. C. Avoid lifting anything heavier than 4.5 kg (10 lb) for 1 week. D. Bend at the waist to pick objects up from the floor.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

White drainage on the eyelids is not a normal finding and should be reported to the surgeon. However, this is not a standard discharge instruction but rather a sign of potential infection.

Choice B rationale

Sleeping on the abdomen is not recommended after cataract surgery as it can increase pressure on the eye and disrupt healing. Patients are usually advised to sleep on their back or the unaffected side.

Choice C rationale

Avoiding lifting anything heavier than 4.5 kg (10 lb) for 1 week is a standard instruction to prevent increased intraocular pressure and ensure proper healing of the surgical site.

Choice D rationale

Bending at the waist to pick up objects can increase intraocular pressure and should be avoided. Patients are advised to bend at the knees instead.
