Correct Answer is A

Explanation

"I am at lower risk for developing cervical warts." This is an incorrect statement because the Gardasil vaccine does not protect against genital warts caused by HPV types other than types 6 and 11. The vaccine protects against HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cases of cervical cancer.

B: This option is incomplete and does not provide any information for the nurse to determine if further teaching is needed.

C: This statement is correct and indicates that the client understands the purpose of the Gardasil vaccine.

D: This statement is incorrect because the Gardasil vaccine does not prevent HPV infection from occurring.

A. Radiation therapy. B. Laser surgery. C. Cryosurgery. D. Radical excision.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Radical excision. Treatment of melanoma includes surgical excision of the tumor with a margin of normal tissue to decrease the risk of recurrence. Radical excision involves the removal of the tumor, adjacent tissue, and possibly lymph nodes.

Option A, radiation therapy, may be used as an adjunct therapy, but it is not the primary treatment.

Option B, laser surgery, may be used to remove superficial lesions, but not for melanoma.

Option C, cryosurgery, is used to remove benign lesions or precancerous cells, but not for melanoma.
