Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When the ovaries decline in function, most estrogen is obtained through the conversion of androstenedione to estrone in the skin and adipose tissue. The other choices do not explain the hormone estrogen in the postmenopausal patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse should instruct the patient and family on effective breathing techniques (such as pursed-lip breathing) and relaxation exercises for anxiety control. The patient should inhale through the nose and exhale through pursed lips. The exhalation should be 2  3 times longer than the inhalation.
