Answer to Question 1

B, E
Fibrocystic breast disease (FBD), the most common breast lesion in women, usually occurs between the ages of 35 and 50 and increases the potential for developing breast cancer. The primary manifestation of FBD is single or multiple cysts that are more tender as the menstrual period approaches; the cysts are often filled with fluid. A green, sticky nipple discharge may also appear from one or both breasts.

Answer to Question 2

B
Early manifestations include fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, pedal edema, a slight cough, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea leading to cyanosis. In right-sided failure, the client then develops edema on the ankles, lower legs, thighs, and abdomen; jugular veins become distended; and oliguria develops.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
