Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The normal reduction in estrogen production associated with aging causes changes throughout the body, including loss of skin tone and growth of facial hair. Postmenopausal women experience a reduction in estrogen production. The levels of luteinizing hormone and FSH do not influence hair growth.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3, 5
The nurse palpates all sections of both axillae for enlarged nodes. The nurse should explain breast self-exam (BSE) to the patient. The nurse is not counting the ribs or assessing hair distribution. The nurse needs to answer the patient's question rather than ask another question.
