Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Hormone replacement therapy puts the client at risk for thrombophlebitis. The nurse should always assess for calf pain and other symptoms of thrombophlebitis.
Rationale 2: Decreased libido is a side effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but is not as high a priority as assessing the pain in the calf.
Rationale 3: Low-back pain is nonspecific and does not apply to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Rationale 4: Chronic fatigue could be a side effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but it is nonspecific and could result from many other causes.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Choice of emergency contraceptive is guided in some ways by the amount of time since unprotected sex.
Rationale 2: A condom is important to help prevent STDs, but will not affect emergency contraception timeframes, and the client said she had unprotected sex.
Rationale 3: Prior methods of birth control are not an issue here.
Rationale 4: Where the client is in her monthly cycle is not an issue here.
