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.

Choice B rationale

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

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A reaction from an epidural can cause side effects such as hypotension and shivering, but it is not related to tachysystole.

Choice B rationale

When the fetus's heart rate drops below baseline, it is termed bradycardia, not tachysystole. This condition can occur due to various reasons, including cord prolapse or placental insufficiency.

Choice C rationale

Tachysystole is defined as more than five contractions in 10 minutes. This condition can lead to reduced blood flow to the fetus, resulting in fetal distress.

Choice D rationale

Pitocin is a medication used to induce labor and can cause tachysystole, but the administration of Pitocin itself is not the definition of tachysystole. It's the increased frequency of contractions that defines the condition.
