Answer to Question 1

1. The maturing follicle produces estrogen immediately at the end of the menstrual phase.

Rationale:
The nurse should instruct the client that at the end of the menstrual phase, the maturing follicle begins to produce estrogen. Cervical mucus is thinner, not thicker, during the proliferative phase. Cervical mucus is thicker during the secretory phase. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days.

Answer to Question 2

2. I will take the ordered dose at the same time every day..

Rationale:
Steroid therapy is usually done as part of a tapered-dose treatment plan. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day. Steroids are taken with food to minimize GI distress. Steroids can cause fluid retention, so sodium intake is limited. Steroids also increase blood sugar, so insulin dosages may be increased.
