client tells a nurse that she tested positive for a mutant BRCA-1 gene. The nurse should recognize that this finding increases the client's risk for which of the following conditions?

a. Turn the client so the cast will dry on all sides: While ensuring the cast is dry is important, the first priority following a surgical procedure is to assess neurovascular status to detect any

complications.

b. Remove the window and view the incision: Removing the window may compromise the cast's integrity, and the priority is to assess neurovascular status before inspecting the incision.

c. Medicate the client for pain: Pain management is important, but assessing neurovascular status is the initial priority to ensure there are no complications affecting circulation.

d. Perform neurovascular checks of the affected extremity: Neurovascular checks are the priority to detect any signs of impaired circulation or nerve function.

a. Bradycardia: Atenolol is a beta-blocker that can slow down the heart rate, leading to

bradycardia. Monitoring the client for signs of bradycardia, such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, is important.

b. Anemia: Atenolol is not known to cause anemia. Monitoring for anemia is not a specific concern with this medication.

c. Hypokalemia: Atenolol is not associated with causing hypokalemia. However, beta-blockers in general may affect potassium levels indirectly.

d. Neutropenia: Atenolol is not typically associated with causing neutropenia. Monitoring for neutropenia is not a specific concern with this medication.
