The public health nurse is teaching young adolescents in a sexual health class the proper use of a condom. Which statements made by the students indicate teaching was successful? Select all that apply.

Choice A: Encourage her to turn, cough, and deep breathe at frequent intervals. This intervention is appropriate for the nurse to include in the client's plan of care at this time because it can help prevent respiratory complications such as atelectasis (collapse of lung tissue) or pneumonia after surgery. Turning, coughing, and deep breathing can help expand the lungs, clear the airways, and improve oxygenation.

Choice B: Ask the client how she feels about having her breast removed. This intervention is not appropriate for the nurse to include in the client's plan of care at this time because it may be too intrusive or insensitive. Asking the client how she feels about having her breast removed may trigger emotional distress or anxiety in the client who has just undergone a major surgery that affects her body image and self-esteem. The nurse should wait until the client is more stable and ready to talk about her feelings and concerns.

Choice C: Attach a sign above her bed to have BP, IV lines, and lab work in her right arm. This intervention is not appropriate for the nurse to include in the client's plan of care at this time because it is incorrect and potentially harmful. Attaching a sign above her bed to have BP, IV lines, and lab work in her right arm may cause injury or infection to the arm that has undergone surgery and lymph node removal. The nurse should attach a sign above her bed to have BP, IV lines, and lab work in her left arm instead.

Choice D: Position her right arm below heart level. This intervention is not appropriate for the nurse to include in the client's plan of care at this time because it is incorrect and potentially harmful. Positioning her right arm below heart level may impair the blood circulation and lymphatic drainage of the arm that has undergone surgery and lymph node removal. The nurse should position her right arm above heart level instead.

Choice A: Cancer is not the correct answer because it is not the leading cause of death among women. According to the World Health Organization, cancer accounted for 15% of all deaths among women in 2019.

Choice B: Heart Disease is the correct answer because it is the leading cause of death among women worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, heart disease accounted for 21% of all deaths among women in 2019. Many women are unaware of the risk factors and symptoms of heart disease, and may not seek timely medical attention. Therefore, educational programs that raise awareness and promote the prevention of heart disease are a priority for women's health.

Choice C: Diabetes is not the correct answer because it is not the leading cause of death among women. According to the World Health Organization, diabetes accounted for 4% of all deaths among women in 2019. However, diabetes can increase the risk of developing other complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and blindness. Therefore, educational programs that teach women how to manage their blood sugar levels and prevent complications are important for women's health.

Choice D: Smoking is not the correct answer because it is not a condition, but a risk factor for many diseases. Smoking can increase the risk of developing lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Therefore, educational programs that help women quit smoking and avoid exposure to secondhand smoke are beneficial for women's health.
