Practice Question
A client with a history of ovarian cysts is seen by the primary health care provider (PHCP). The client has had 2 previous surgeries related to this condition. Her PHCP recommends an exploratory laparoscopic procedure for the current ovarian cyst, which has persisted for several months. The client states that the prior ovarian cysts were benign and questions the need for this procedure. Which response is best for the nurse to provide?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"A prolonged ovarian abnormality should be evaluated thoroughly."
Rationale:
Persistent ovarian cysts in a patient with recurrent history warrant thorough investigation to rule out malignancy or other complications. While previous cysts may have been benign, the persistence suggests potential pathological changes requiring diagnostic procedures like laparoscopy or tumor marker testing.
