The nurse is performing a comprehensive health history of a client who is in their 50s. The nurse should identify what risk factor that increases risk of complications?

The breast cancer stage and grade are critical factors in determining the appropriate treatment plan. The stage describes the extent of the cancer, including how large it is and whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body. The cancer grade provides information about how abnormal the cancer cells look under a microscope, which can help predict how fast the cancer is likely to grow and spread.

While CBC results (option a) and vital signs (option b) may provide some information about the client's overall health, they are not the most important factors in determining breast cancer treatment. Similarly, while the family's wishes for treatment (option d) are important to consider, they should not be the sole determining factor in deciding the best course of action for the client's cancer treatment.

Lower abdominal pelvic pain is a common clinical manifestation of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer may not cause any noticeable symptoms in its early stages, but as the cancer grows and spreads, symptoms may develop. Pelvic pain or pressure is a common symptom, along with bloating, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary urgency or frequency. Other symptoms may include fatigue, indigestion, back pain, constipation, and menstrual irregularities. A fish-like odor (a symptom of bacterial vaginosis) increased abdominal girth,

fever and chills, and leukocytosis are not typically associated with ovarian cancer. However, leukocytosis (an elevated white blood cell count) may be present in response to inflammation or infection. It is important for the nurse to assess the client's symptoms thoroughly and report any concerning findings to the healthcare provider.
