When advising a menopausal woman who opts not to use hormone therapy, which self-care measure should be emphasized as the most important?
Limit alcohol and caffeine intake
Taking vitamin E and B complex vitamin supplements
Decreasing the intake of dairy products
Performing regular weight-bearing exercises
The Correct Answer is D
A. Incorrect → Limiting alcohol and caffeine can help, but it is not as critical as exercise in preventing osteoporosis.
B. Incorrect → Vitamin E and B complex vitamins may offer general health benefits but are not essential for menopause management.
C. Incorrect → Dairy is a key source of calcium, and menopausal women should increase calcium intake to support bone health.
D. Weight-bearing exercises (e.g., walking, strength training) help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis in menopausal women.

Correct Answer is ["B","C","F"]
Explanation
A. Decreased urine output → Not a direct sign of PDA; it may indicate other conditions such as heart failure or hypoperfusion.
B. Bounding peripheral pulses → PDA causes increased systemic blood flow due to left-to-right shunting, leading to strong, bounding pulses.
C. Wide pulse pressure → PDA increases systolic pressure while lowering diastolic pressure, widening the pulse pressure.
D. Bradycardia → PDA is more likely to cause tachycardia due to increased cardiac workload.
E. Cyanosis of the extremities → PDA primarily causes left-to-right shunting, which does not typically result in cyanosis unless Eisenmenger syndrome (reversal to right-to-left shunting) develops.
Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]
Explanation
A. Apply breast milk to the nipples → Breast milk has natural healing properties and helps soothe sore nipples.
B. Apply ice packs → Ice can cause vasoconstriction, which may worsen discomfort; warm compresses are preferred.
C. Start breastfeeding with the nipple that is less sore → Infants suck more vigorously at the start of a feeding, so beginning with the less sore nipple reduces discomfort.
D. Change the infant’s position → Different latch positions can reduce pressure on sore areas, promoting healing.
E. Wear a tight-fitting nursing bra → A properly fitting bra is essential; tight bras may increase discomfort and risk of clogged ducts.
