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

Methylergonovine (Methergine) is contraindicated in clients with hypertension because it can cause severe hypertension by increasing vascular resistance, leading to potential complications such as stroke.

Choice B rationale

Oxytocin (Pitocin) is used to induce labor and control postpartum hemorrhage and does not significantly increase blood pressure, making it safe for use in hypertensive patients.

Choice C rationale

Carboprost (Hemabate) is used to control severe postpartum hemorrhage and does not have significant effects on blood pressure. It is generally safe for hypertensive patients.

Choice D rationale

Misoprostol (Cytotec) is used for postpartum hemorrhage management and does not significantly affect blood pressure, making it safe for hypertensive patients.
