A nurse is teaching a client who has genital herpes. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A rationale:

Bulging fontanels are a sign of increased intracranial pressure, which is an abnormal finding in newborns. The nurse should assess for other signs of neurological impairment, such as lethargy, irritability, or seizures.

Choice B rationale:

Blue hands and feet, also known as acrocyanosis, are a normal finding in newborns who are 4 hr old. This is due to immature peripheral circulation and should resolve within 24 to 48 hr.

Choice C rationale:

Generalized petechiae are a sign of bleeding disorders, infection, or trauma, which are abnormal findings in newborns. The nurse should assess for other signs of bleeding, such as bruising, hematuria, or melena.

Choice D rationale:

Flaring of the nares is a sign of respiratory distress, which is an abnormal finding in newborns. The nurse should assess for other signs of respiratory distress, such as grunting, retractions, or cyanosis.

Choice A rationale:

Comfrey is not commonly recommended as an herbal supplement for menopausal symptoms. It has been associated with potential liver toxicity.

Choice B rationale:

Ginkgo biloba is often used to improve cognitive function and circulation but is not typically used to address menopausal symptoms.

Choice C rationale:

Black cohosh is an herbal supplement that is commonly used by middle-aged women to help alleviate symptoms related to menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings. Black cohosh may also have some benefits for bone health and cardiovascular health. However, black cohosh may also have some side effects and interactions with other medications, so the nurse should advise the women to consult their health care providers before taking it.

Choice D rationale:

Garlic is not typically used as an herbal supplement to manage menopausal symptoms; it is more commonly known for its potential cardiovascular benefits.
