The nurse is educating a female client about the onset of menopause and the resulting atrophy of the vulvar organs.
The nurse should recognize that the major cause for these symptoms is related to which of the following?

Decreased follicle-stimulating hormone.

Increased levels of prostaglandin.

Decreased estrogen.

Increased luteinizing hormone.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Decreased follicle-stimulating hormone is not the major cause of the onset of menopause and the resulting atrophy of the vulvar organs. The major cause is decreased estrogen.

Choice B rationale

Increased levels of prostaglandin are not the major cause of the onset of menopause and the resulting atrophy of the vulvar organs. The major cause is decreased estrogen.

Choice C rationale

Decreased estrogen is the major cause of the onset of menopause and the resulting atrophy of the vulvar organs. During perimenopause, less estrogen may cause the tissues of the vulva and the lining of the vagina to become thinner, drier, and less elastic or flexible.

Choice D rationale

Increased luteinizing hormone is not the major cause of the onset of menopause and the resulting atrophy of the vulvar organs. The major cause is decreased estrogen.

Explanation

Choice A rationale

At about 12 hours after delivery, the uterine fundus can be palpated at 1 cm above the umbilicus. This is the correct answer.

Choice B rationale

One fingerbreadth above the symphysis pubis is not where the uterine fundus is expected to be found 12 hours after a vaginal delivery.

Choice C rationale

At the level of the umbilicus is not where the uterine fundus is expected to be found 12 hours after a vaginal delivery.

Choice D rationale

To the right of the umbilicus is not where the uterine fundus is expected to be found 12 hours after a vaginal delivery.

A. Altered mucus membranes B. Fluid volume deficit C. Nutrition D. Skin integrity .

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

While altered mucus membranes can occur in patients with Crohn’s disease, it is not typically the primary nursing assessment.

Choice B rationale

Fluid volume deficit can occur in patients with Crohn’s disease due to diarrhea, a common symptom of the disease. However, it is not typically the primary nursing assessment.

Choice C rationale

Nutrition should be prioritized in the nursing assessment for a patient diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Malnutrition can occur due to decreased appetite, malabsorption of nutrients, and increased nutritional needs due to inflammation.

Choice D rationale

While skin integrity can be a concern in patients with Crohn’s disease, particularly those with fistulas, it is not typically the primary nursing assessment.
