Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale 1: Decrease intake of high-fiber foods is not a restriction for clients receiving HRT.
Rationale 2: Avoid heavy lifting is not a restriction for clients receiving HRT.
Rationale 3:Use an additional form of contraception is incorrect because HRT is given to women in menopause.
Rationale 4: Monthly breast self-examinations should be conducted in addition to an annual exam by a healthcare provider.

Global Rationale: Monthly breast self-examinations should be conducted in addition to an annual exam by a healthcare provider.

Answer to Question 2

2, 4, 5

Rationale 1: The medication does not shrink the prostate.5-Alpha-reductase inhibitors reduce the size of the prostate.
Rationale 2: Because drug therapy alleviates the symptoms but does not cure the disease, these medications must be taken for the remainder of the patient's life, or until surgery is indicated.
Rationale 3:The medication has no effect on the blood pressure.
Rationale 4:Tamsulosin (Flomax) has no effect on blood pressure, and its only indication is BPH.
Rationale 5: Because drug therapy alleviates the symptoms but does not cure the disease, these medications must be taken for the remainder of the patient's life, or until surgery is indicated.

Global Rationale: Because drug therapy alleviates the symptoms but does not cure the disease, these medications must be taken for the remainder of the patient's life, or until surgery is indicated.
