A nurse providing dietary teaching for a client who is at 29 weeks of gestation and has phenylketonuria. Which of the following suggested foods should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A rationale:

This statement indicates that the client understands the potential side effects of oral contraception and the importance of reporting them promptly to their healthcare provider. Chest pain, shortness of breath, or leg pain can be indicative of serious complications, such as blood clots, which can occur with oral contraceptive use.

Choice B rationale:

This statement demonstrates the client's understanding of what to do if they miss three pills. Using an alternative form of birth control is a responsible action to prevent unintended pregnancies, as missing multiple pills can decrease contraceptive effectiveness.

Choice C rationale:

This statement reveals a misunderstanding of the appropriate action to take if the client misses three pills. Instead of doubling up, the client should be instructed to take the missed pill as soon as they remember and continue taking the pills as usual. Doubling up can increase the risk of side effects and won't necessarily prevent pregnancy.

Choice D rationale:

This statement indicates that the client comprehends the need for follow-up appointments while on oral contraception. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor the client's health, address any concerns, and ensure the effectiveness of the chosen contraceptive method.

Choice A rationale:

Nulliparity (never having given birth) is a known risk factor for ovarian cancer. Women who have never had children have a higher risk compared to those who have. This is believed to be associated with the number of ovulatory cycles a woman experiences throughout her lifetime.

Choice B rationale:

History of breastfeeding does not have a direct link to ovarian cancer risk. In fact, breastfeeding is associated with a reduced risk of both breast and ovarian cancer due to hormonal changes that occur during lactation.

Choice C rationale:

Previous use of oral contraceptives is associated with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer. Women who have used birth control pills have a lower risk compared to those who have never used them. The protective effect is believed to be due to the suppression of ovulation.

Choice D rationale:

History of breast cancer is not a risk factor for ovarian cancer. Although both cancers are related to the reproductive system, they have distinct risk factors and characteristics.

Choice E rationale:

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a potential risk factor for ovarian cancer, especially long-term use. The hormones used in HRT can affect hormone levels and may increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
