Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The risks of hepatic adenoma may be increased with the use of oral contraceptives. Oral contraceptives also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, thromboembolic disorders, strokes, visual disturbances, gallbladder disease, hypertension, and fetal abnormalities. The risks of fibrocystic breast disease, ovarian cysts, and endometrial cancer are decreased, not increased, with the use of oral contraceptives.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Liver toxicity is indicated by the presence of jaundice. Edema of the feet and an increase in weight may be seen because of fluid and electrolyte imbalance but does not indicate liver toxicity. An increase in appetite shows that the client is responding well to the drug and is not a sign of liver toxicity.
