The nurse is caring for a 45-year-old female patient with a strong family history of breast cancer. What does the nurse teach the patient regarding cancer prevention?

Have a clinical breast examination every 3 years.

Have a mammogram every 5 years.

Have an annual clinical breast examination.

Have a mammogram every 3 years.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Clinical breast examination (CBE) should be done annually for women at higher risk, not every 3 years.
B. Mammograms are generally recommended every year starting at age 40 for women at average risk. For those with a strong family history of breast cancer, earlier and more frequent screening may be advised.
C. An annual clinical breast examination (CBE) is recommended for women, especially those with a higher risk of breast cancer, such as a family history. This allows healthcare providers to check for any abnormalities in the breasts.
D. Mammograms every 3 years are generally not sufficient for women at higher risk; they should start annual mammograms at age 40, or possibly earlier based on family history or genetic factors.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Trauma-related disorders, such as PTSD or acute stress disorder, can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, even if there is no physical harm. Events such as violence, natural disasters, abuse, or accidents can be triggers.
B. Physical harm is not required for a trauma-related disorder to develop. Psychological and emotional trauma alone can be sufficient.
C. While neurobiological factors may play a role in how trauma affects the brain, trauma-related disorders are primarily triggered by traumatic experiences, not solely by a chemical imbalance.
D. Although genetic predispositions may influence vulnerability, people are not simply born with trauma-related disorders; they develop as a response to traumatic events.

A. 11:30 PM B. 10:30 PM to 1:30 AM C. 12:30 AM to 8:30 AM D. 8:40 PM to 9:00 PM

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. While 11:30 PM is within the peak window, monitoring should extend through the entire peak period, not just one point in time.
B. If regular insulin is given at 8:30 PM, the peak action, when the risk of hypoglycemia is highest, would occur between 10:30 PM and 1:30 AM.
C. 12:30 AM to 8:30 AM extends beyond the peak and into the late duration phase.
D. 8:40 PM to 9:00 PM is too early for peak action; this is just after the onset.
