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 C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Sneezing is a reflex action to clear the nasal passages and is not a feeding cue. It does not indicate hunger but is more likely related to environmental irritants or the baby adjusting to breathing air.
Choice B rationale
Moving legs in a bicycle motion is a common newborn reflex that is associated with general activity or discomfort, rather than a specific signal of hunger. This movement is typically seen during periods of wakefulness or while the baby is trying to soothe themselves.
Choice C rationale
Putting their hand to their mouth is a well-recognized hunger cue in newborns. This behavior often precedes crying and indicates that the baby is ready to feed. It's a self-soothing mechanism that also signals hunger.
Choice D rationale
Extending both arms to the side of their body is more related to the Moro reflex, which is a startle reflex in response to a sudden movement or noise. It is not associated with feeding cues or hunger.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that accelerates fetal lung maturity by increasing the production of surfactant, which reduces respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants.
Choice B rationale
While betamethasone can cause transient increases in fetal heart rate, its primary purpose is not to increase fetal heart rate. Its role is in enhancing lung maturity.
Choice C rationale
Betamethasone does not directly increase amniotic fluid levels. Its main function is in the maturation of fetal lungs.
Choice D rationale
Betamethasone is not used to stop preterm labor contractions. It is used to accelerate fetal lung development in preterm labor cases.
