A nurse is assessing a client's risk of breast cancer.
Which of the following would not be included in the education about risks?

A.

Client's sister had breast cancer.

B.

History of radiation exposure.

C.

Currently taking oral contraceptives.

D.

Age less than 25 years old.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale

A family history of breast cancer, particularly in a close relative like a sister, is a significant risk factor for breast cancer.

 

Choice B rationale

Exposure to radiation, particularly in the chest area, increases the risk of developing breast cancer.

 

Choice C rationale

Current use of oral contraceptives can slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, though the risk diminishes after stopping the pills.

 

Choice D rationale

Age less than 25 years is not a risk factor for breast cancer; risk increases with age.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A newborn who is 26 hours post-delivery and has had no urine output needs immediate attention. Lack of urine output for over 24 hours may indicate dehydration or renal issues. Immediate medical evaluation is required to identify underlying conditions and prevent complications such as acute kidney injury or sepsis.

Choice B rationale

Acrocyanosis, characterized by blueish discoloration of the extremities, is common in newborns during the first 24-48 hours of life and usually resolves on its own. It occurs due to immature blood circulation and is generally not a cause for concern.

Choice C rationale

Failure to pass meconium within the first 24 hours can be a sign of conditions like Hirschsprung's disease or cystic fibrosis, but it is not as immediately concerning as anuria (no urine output). Monitoring and further evaluation are necessary, but it does not require urgent provider notification.

Choice D rationale

A blood glucose level of 50 mg/dL in a newborn is within the lower limit of normal. While it's important to monitor, it does not necessitate immediate provider notification unless it continues to drop or other symptoms arise.
