Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A retroverted uterus means the uterus tips back. Minor variations of these positions do not tend to cause reproductive problems. A retroverted uterus does not mean that the patient needs surgery. A retroverted uterus does not interfere with fertility. The only way that a retroverted uterus will interfere with conception is if the abnormal position is extreme because the sharp bend can block the deposition or migration of sperm.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The woman is verbalizing how she sees herself in light of the manifestations of PCOS. She is exhibiting a negative self-image. Therefore, the nursing diagnosis of situational low self-esteem would be a priority. There is no information about the woman's participation in social activities. Her statements do not reflect that she might hurt herself. PCOS is associated with long-term health problems, but this is not evidenced by the scenario.
