A nurse is performing a neurological examination on a client as part of a complete physical assessment.
The nurse should identify that cranial nerve XI is intact when the client performs which of the following actions?

Choice A rationale:

Recent myocardial infarction is not a contraindication for warfarin administration. Warfarin is often prescribed for patients with a history of myocardial infarction to prevent clot formation and reduce the risk of stroke.

Choice B rationale:

Recent eye surgery is a contraindication for the administration of warfarin. Warfarin can increase the risk of bleeding, which is particularly concerning after eye surgery due to the delicate nature of ocular tissues. Using anticoagulants in this scenario can lead to severe complications, including vision loss.

Choice C rationale:

Thrombophlebitis, inflammation of a vein with clot formation, is not a contraindication for warfarin administration. In fact, anticoagulants like warfarin are commonly prescribed to prevent the extension of clots and reduce the risk of complications associated with thrombophlebitis.

Choice D rationale:

Breast cancer is not a direct contraindication for warfarin administration. However, the decision to use anticoagulants in patients with a history of breast cancer should be made carefully, considering individual factors such as the stage of cancer, ongoing treatment, and overall risk of thromboembolic events.

Choice A rationale:

Taking temperature within 30 minutes after the first morning void is specific to ovulation prediction kits, not the basal body temperature method.

Choice B rationale:

Taking temperature 1 hour after getting out of bed is not accurate for tracking basal body temperature fluctuations related to the menstrual cycle.

Choice C rationale:

Taking temperature every night before going to bed does not provide consistent basal body temperature readings, as the body temperature needs to be taken at the same time every morning to detect subtle changes related to the menstrual cycle.

Choice D rationale:

This is the correct answer. To use the basal body temperature method effectively, the client should take their temperature immediately after waking and before getting out of bed every morning. This helps in detecting the slight rise in basal body temperature that occurs after ovulation, indicating the fertile period.
