Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The client believes that once menopause is reached, her life is over. The most appropriate nursing diagnosis for the client at this time would be Situational Low Self-Esteem because the client could have inadequate coping skills to aid with the aging process. There is no information to support the diagnosis of Ineffective Sexuality Pattern. The client may or may not have deficient knowledge or a disturbed body image.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The hot flashes can be successfully managed with soy and black cohosh. Estrogen is not the only reliable method of treatment for hot flashes. Olive oil is not used to manage hot flashes. Advising the client to wait is inappropriate.
