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.
