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
Category 1 is a normal fetal heart rate pattern with no signs of fetal distress, which is not applicable in this case.
Choice B rationale
Category 2 represents an intermediate category with some concerns, but recurrent late decelerations and absent variability place this scenario in a higher risk category.
Choice C rationale
Category 3 indicates abnormal fetal heart rate patterns, including absent variability with recurrent late decelerations, which is associated with potential fetal hypoxia or acidemia and requires prompt intervention.
Choice D rationale
There is no Category 4 in fetal heart rate monitoring.
Correct Answer is ["B","E","F"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale:
The statement suggests supplementing with formula due to the baby’s weight loss. However, a 5% weight loss in the first few days is normal for breastfed infants, and formula
supplementation is not necessary unless recommended by a healthcare provider. Early breastfeeding should be encouraged to increase milk supply and support newborn weight gain.
Choice B rationale:
This statement correctly indicates that newborns should feed 8 to 12 times per day and on demand to ensure adequate nutrition and promote milk production. Frequent breastfeeding
helps establish and maintain milk supply.
Choice C rationale:
Using plastic-lined breast pads can retain moisture and increase the risk of infection or irritation. Sore nipples can be managed with lanolin creams, air-drying, and proper latching
techniques during breastfeeding.
Choice D rationale:
Drinking more whole milk is a common misconception and does not directly increase a mother's milk supply. Milk production is influenced by frequent breastfeeding, proper hydration,
and balanced nutrition, not by specific types of foods or drinks.
Choice E rationale:
Newborn stools transition from dark greenish meconium to yellow, seedy stools within the first few days of life as breastfeeding becomes established. This indicates effective feeding
and milk intake.
Choice F rationale:
It is normal for a breastfeeding mother’s breasts to feel full, warm, and slightly tender as her milk comes in. This indicates that the milk supply is increasing and the body is responding
to the newborn’s feeding needs.
