A client with extensive endometriosis is scheduled for a panhysterectomy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
A) "I will be having my uterus, tubes, and ovaries removed."
B) "I am finished having children."
C) "I will not have to deal with symptoms of menopause."
D) "I will now have a greater risk for stroke and heart disease."
C
Feedback:
Surgical menopause causes a sudden drop in estrogen and progesterone levels resulting in varied symptoms in clients. The risks of heart disease and stroke increase with estrogen reduction. A panhysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, both tubes and ovaries and will result in the inability to conceive children.
