ALREADY PASSED
◉ Nurse's role in violence against women and child abuse.
Answer: The nurse prevents, recognizes, and intervenes by
screening privately, identifying red flags, ensuring safety,
documenting objective findings and exact quotes, reporting
suspected child abuse, providing resources, and collaborating with
social work, providers, CPS, and law enforcement when needed.
◉ Cost containment, technology, home care, and outcome
management in maternal-child care.
Answer: Cost containment uses resources wisely while maintaining
safety. Technology can improve access through telehealth, portals,
and remote monitoring. Home care supports postpartum, newborn,
and complex pediatric needs. Outcome management tracks data like
readmissions, breastfeeding, safe sleep teaching, and follow-up
attendance.
◉ Investigate women's health alterations related to reproduction,
preconception, and genetics.
,Answer: Relevant alterations include breast cancer, ovarian cancer,
ovarian cysts, STIs, infertility, and genetic risks. Nurses promote
early screening, preconception care, STI prevention, folic acid use,
medication review, and genetic counseling when indicated.
◉ Breast cancer and reproductive/genetic health.
Answer: Breast cancer may present as a painless, hard, immobile,
irregular mass with possible dimpling or axillary nodes. BRCA1 and
BRCA2 mutations increase breast and ovarian cancer risk, so family
history and genetic counseling are important.
◉ Ovarian cancer and reproductive/genetic health.
Answer: Ovarian cancer often has vague symptoms such as bloating,
early satiety, pelvic pain, urinary urgency, nausea, or abdominal
swelling. Risk increases with BRCA mutations, Lynch syndrome,
family history, infertility, nulliparity, endometriosis, and older age.
◉ Prevention of genetic defects.
Answer: Prevention includes preconception counseling, folic acid
400 to 800 mcg daily, controlling diabetes and hypertension,
updating vaccines before pregnancy when appropriate, avoiding
alcohol/drugs/smoking, reviewing medications, and avoiding
teratogens.
◉ STIs and effects on reproductive ability.
, Answer: STIs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause pelvic
inflammatory disease, tubal scarring, infertility, ectopic pregnancy,
chronic pelvic pain, and pregnancy complications. Screening and
treatment help protect fertility.
◉ Analyze key elements of reproductive health.
Answer: Reproductive health includes physical health, menstrual
health, fertility, contraception, STI prevention, cancer screening,
sexual health, gender-affirming care, psychosocial needs, patient
rights, privacy, informed consent, and unbiased education.
◉ Physical elements of reproductive health.
Answer: Physical elements include menstrual cycle concerns, pelvic
exams when indicated, Pap/HPV screening, STI testing,
contraception, fertility care, preconception care, pregnancy care,
menopause care, and breast health.
◉ Psychosocial elements of reproductive health.
