Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The priority concern for this patient right now is the disturbed sensory perception related to the CNS effects of the drug. Acute Pain could also be used but it would be related to CNS effects, not GI effects. There is no indication of imbalanced nutrition or deficient knowledge in the question.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
It would be important to explain that the woman's ova do not increase or decrease from birth to childbearing years. The nurse will stress that all the ova that a woman will have will be present at birth. The patient should understand that if she does not ovulate 1 month or for several months, it is not because she has done something to her body to cause this. Ova slowly degenerate over a lifetime or they are released once a month until menopause is complete. Each ovum is contained in a storage site called a follicle, which produces the female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
