The nurse is caring for a client with cervical cancer who is receiving active brachytherapy. Which statement by the client indicates the client understands the precautions and potential complications associated with active brachytherapy

Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries after ovulation has occurred. By measuring the levels of progesterone in the blood, healthcare providers can determine whether ovulation is occurring regularly and at what point in the menstrual cycle it is happening. This information can be used to time implantation during fertility treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The other options listed, such as abdominal CT, oocyte viability test, and urine testosterone, are not relevant diagnostic tests for assessing ovulation or timing implantation.

This statement shows that the client understands the potential side effects of the treatment and knows to report any unusual symptoms to their healthcare provider. This is important because brachytherapy can cause vaginal bleeding, fever, or abdominal pain, which may be signs of infection or other complications.

Option a is partially correct, as it is important for clients undergoing active brachytherapy to restrict activity and avoid vigorous movements to prevent the dislodgement of radiation sources. However, this statement alone does not indicate that the client understands the potential complications or knows when to report them to the healthcare provider.

Option b is not directly related to the client's treatment or potential complications and does not indicate an understanding of the precautions and potential complications associated with active brachytherapy.

Option d is not necessarily required, as the client may not need to be in a private room during active brachytherapy. This option does not directly relate to the precautions or potential complications of the treatment.
