A community health nurse is preparing a poster for an educational session for a group of women with whom she will be discussing the risk factors for breast cancer.
Which factors increase the risk for breast cancer and should be listed on the poster? Select all that apply.

Family history of breast cancer.

Multiparity.

Exposure of the chest to high dose radiation.

Previous cancer of breast, uterus, or ovaries.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C,D

Choice A rationale

A family history of breast cancer is a significant risk factor because genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can be inherited and increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.

Choice B rationale

Multiparity (having multiple pregnancies) is generally considered to reduce the risk of breast cancer. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding lower the number of menstrual cycles a woman has, reducing her lifetime exposure to estrogen.

Choice C rationale

Exposure of the chest to high-dose radiation, especially during childhood or young adulthood, increases the risk of breast cancer. Radiation can cause mutations in breast cells, leading to cancer.

Choice D rationale

Previous cancer of the breast, uterus, or ovaries increases the risk of developing breast cancer. This is due to shared risk factors and the possibility of metastasis or recurrence.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Headaches and blurred vision are not specific to stage I Lyme disease. These symptoms can occur in many other conditions and are not the primary indicators of early Lyme disease.

Choice B rationale

Tremors and weakness are not typical early signs of Lyme disease. These symptoms are more associated with neurological involvement, which occurs in later stages of the disease.

Choice C rationale

Rash symptoms, specifically erythema migrans (a bull’s-eye rash), are the hallmark of stage I Lyme disease. This rash appears at the site of the tick bite and is a key diagnostic feature.

Choice D rationale

Painful joints are more commonly seen in later stages of Lyme disease when the infection has spread and caused more systemic involvement.

A. Allow the client to ambulate. B. Remove the eye patch during the day. C. Encourage coughing and deep-breathing. D. Avoid reading and writing.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Allowing the client to ambulate one day after a detached retinal repair is not recommended. Ambulation can increase intraocular pressure and disrupt the healing process of the retina. The client should be advised to limit physical activity to prevent any strain on the eye.

Choice B rationale

Removing the eye patch during the day is not advisable as it can expose the eye to potential injury or infection. The eye patch helps protect the eye and maintain the correct position for healing. It should be worn as directed by the healthcare provider.

Choice C rationale

Encouraging coughing and deep-breathing exercises is not appropriate for a client who has undergone retinal repair. These activities can increase intraocular pressure and risk detachment of the retina. The client should avoid activities that cause strain or pressure on the eyes.

Choice D rationale

Avoiding reading and writing is crucial for a client one day postoperative following a detached retinal repair. These activities can cause rapid eye movements and strain, which can interfere with the healing process and reattachment of the retina. The client should be advised to rest their eyes and avoid any activities that require intense focus or eye movement.
