A nurse is assessing a client's risk of breast cancer.
Which of the following would not be included in the education about risks?
Client's sister had breast cancer.
History of radiation exposure.
Currently taking oral contraceptives.
Age less than 25 years old.
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 B
Explanation
Choice A rationale
The supine position is not recommended for breastfeeding because it can lead to issues with latching and milk flow, making it uncomfortable and potentially unsafe.
Choice B rationale
The cradle position is a common and effective breastfeeding position where the baby's head rests in the crook of the mother's arm, allowing for close contact and support.
Choice C rationale
Upright with chin support is not a standard breastfeeding position and may not provide the necessary support or alignment for effective breastfeeding.
Choice D rationale
Over-the-shoulder is also not a recommended breastfeeding position as it is impractical and does not facilitate proper latching or feeding.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid and is not used for treating ectopic pregnancy.
Choice B rationale
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is used to stimulate ovulation, not to treat ectopic pregnancy.
Choice C rationale
Methotrexate is a chemotherapeutic agent that effectively stops the growth of ectopic pregnancy cells, allowing the pregnancy tissue to be reabsorbed by the body.
Choice D rationale
Progesterone supports pregnancy and is not used to treat ectopic pregnancy.
