Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

While wearing a supportive bra is generally advisable, wearing it 24 hours a day is not necessary and may cause discomfort.

Choice B rationale:

Performing a breast self-exam 1 week after menstruation is recommended for individuals with fibrocystic breast condition. Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can affect breast tissue, and examining the breasts when they are less likely to be affected by hormonal fluctuations can provide a more accurate baseline for self-examination.

Choice C rationale:

Mammograms are recommended more frequently than every 4 years, especially for those with fibrocystic breast condition or other risk factors.

Choice D rationale:

Increasing caffeine intake can exacerbate symptoms of fibrocystic breast condition. Caffeine is known to contribute to breast pain and tenderness.

A. "I can pour warm water over the lesions to decrease painful urination." B. "I am not contagious when I don't have lesions." C. "I will finish my antibiotics so that my infection will not return." D. "I can soak in a bubble bath to reduce discomfort."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Warm water can help soothe the lesions and decrease painful urination, providing relief to the client.

Choice B rationale:

The client with genital herpes can still shed the virus and potentially transmit it to others even when there are no visible lesions, so this statement is incorrect.

Choice C rationale:

Genital herpes is a viral infection, and antibiotics are not effective in treating viral infections. Antiviral medications are used to manage genital herpes outbreaks.

Choice D rationale:

Soaking in a bubble bath can potentially irritate the lesions and worsen discomfort. It is not recommended for individuals with genital herpes.
