Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
There is no evidence that either herbal preparations or complementary approaches such as acupuncture, mind-body therapies, or manipulative therapies significantly reduce the symptoms of menopause. However, body-related therapies are considered safer because they do not have the side effects of herbal preparations. The nurse's best answer is to explain this to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
These are symptoms of a uterine leiomyoma (fibroid). The medical treatment includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral contraceptives, and Lupron. Ovarian cysts often resolve spontaneously. For ovarian cancer, a complete hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy is the procedure of choice. Because some of these symptoms are also seen in ovarian cancer, the nurse should be sure to assess the patient further.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
