A client's Pap test reveals cervical cells with dysplasia changes. The nurse understands that information obtained during the client's health history and identified as a major risk factor for cervical cancer is:

drinking a glass of red wine with dinner.

infection with human papilloma virus (HPV).

having a PAP test performed annually by her gynecologist.

being married for 21 years to the same person.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A.   This statement is false in terms of being a major risk factor for cervical cancer. While excessive alcohol consumption may have various health implications, moderate drinking, such as a glass of red wine with dinner, is not directly linked to an increased risk of cervical cancer.

B.   Infection with certain high-risk strains of HPV is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause changes in cervical cells, leading to dysplasia and potentially progressing to cancer if not monitored and treated.
C.   In fact, regular Pap tests are a preventive measure that can help detect cervical changes early before they develop into cancer. They are not a risk factor but rather a protective factor against the progression of cervical dysplasia to cancer.
D.   While sexual history can influence HPV transmission, simply being married to the same person for an extended period does not inherently increase the risk of cervical cancer.

Correct Answer is ["14"]

Explanation

154 lbs ÷ 2.2 lbs/kg = 70 kg

20 units/kg * 70 kg = 1400 units

1400 units ÷ 25,000 units/250 mL = 14 mL

Therefore, the nurse will administer 14 mL of Heparin.

A. bypassing the plaques with another artery. B. removal of plaques in the artery in the neck. C. brain surgery to remove the diseased plaques. D. resection of a diseased artery in the brain and replacing it with a Gortex graft.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A carotid endarterectomy does not involve bypassing the plaques; rather, it directly addresses the blockage.
B. Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision in the neck to access the carotid artery, where the surgeon removes the atherosclerotic plaques that are causing narrowing and restricting blood flow. This helps reduce the risk of stroke.
C. Carotid endarterectomy is not brain surgery; it is performed on the carotid arteries in the neck. The procedure aims to prevent strokes by improving blood flow to the brain, but it does not involve surgery on the brain itself.
D. This description does not accurately reflect carotid endarterectomy. The procedure does not involve resecting an artery in the brain or using a graft; rather, it focuses on removing plaques from the carotid artery in the neck.
