Client education for a person taking Progesterone may include:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: The prompt asks what client education for a person taking Progesterone may include.
Option 1: 'Report bowel changes such as constipation or diarrhea.' While GI changes can occur with medications, this option emphasizes bowel changes as the primary education point, which is not the most central safety/monitoring focus for progesterone therapy.
Option 2: 'Perform self-breast exam monthly, do not smoke, and report any unusual breakthrough bleeding or changes in menstrual patterns.' This choice covers several important, evidence-based education points: regular breast self-exams for awareness of any breast changes, avoidance of smoking due to additive cardiovascular or vascular risks, and monitoring for breakthrough bleeding or menstrual changes which are common progesterone-related effects and warrant clinician review. This aligns well with standard patient counseling for progesterone use.
Option 3: 'You may continue smoking while on this medication.' This statement is misleading and generally discouraged, since smoking can increase health risks (especially cardiovascular and thrombotic risks) and is typically advised against with hormone-related therapies.
Option 4: 'Continue taking the medication even if you suspect breast cancer.' This is unsafe guidance; any suspicion of breast cancer should prompt immediate medical evaluation and does not reflect appropriate patient education for someone on progesterone.
Summary: Option 2 is the most comprehensive and appropriate educational guidance, incorporating breast health monitoring, lifestyle caution (not smoking), and vigilance for abnormal bleeding patterns that require medical attention. The other options either downplay key risks, give unsafe instructions, or misprioritize the patient education focus.
