The nurse is educating a female client about the onset of menopause and the resulting atrophy of the vulvar organs.
The nurse should recognize that the major cause for these symptoms is related to which of the following?

Choice A rationale

Strabismus, or crossed eyes, is a condition that typically requires treatment and is not normal in newborns. It involves a lack of coordination between the muscles that control eye movement, causing the eyes to point in different directions.

Choice B rationale

While it’s important to report concerns to the primary care provider, this statement does not directly address the mother’s concern about her newborn’s crossed eyes.

Choice C rationale

Taking the baby to the nursery for further examination may be necessary in some cases, but it does not provide the mother with immediate reassurance or information about her newborn’s condition.

Choice D rationale

Newborns often lack the muscle control necessary to regulate eye movement, which can cause their eyes to cross. This is a normal part of development and typically resolves on its own within the first few months of life.

Choice D rationale

Moving the client to a room closer to the nurses’ station is an appropriate action to address the safety needs of an older adult client who is becoming increasingly restless and intermittently confused. This allows for closer observation and quicker intervention if needed.
