A nurse is caring for a client who is menopausal and asks the nurse about the use of herbal therapies to reduce her discomfort. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. Frequent use of the call light does not necessarily indicate abuse. It could be due to various factors such as pain, discomfort, or needing assistance.
B. A child whose parents answer questions for the child may indicate potential parental control or intimidation, which can be a sign of emotional or psychological abuse.

C. Obesity alone does not necessarily indicate abuse. It could be due to various factors such as genetics, diet, or lack of physical activity.
D. Having frequent visitors does not necessarily indicate abuse. It could be due to a supportive social network or family involvement.

A. Glucose

Rationale:

A. Glucose monitoring is essential for clients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) due to the increased risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.

B. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are not typically monitored specifically for PCOS.

C. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels may be assessed if there is suspicion of thyroid dysfunction but are not routinely monitored for PCOS.

D. Liver function tests are not typically indicated for routine monitoring in PCOS unless there are specific signs or symptoms of liver dysfunction.
