A female client is prescribed methyltestosterone to treat an estrogen-sensitive type of ovarian cancer. Which of the following should the nurse instruct this client about the medication?
1. There is an increased risk of multiple births.
2. Secondary male sex characteristics may develop.
3. Report calf pain or dyspnea
4. Must be taken with food
2. Secondary male sex characteristics may develop.
Rationale:
Methyltestosterone is an androgen hormone replacement used to treat estrogen dependent cancers. The nurse should instruct the client of the risk of developing secondary male sex characteristics when taking this medication. Increased risk of multiple births is associated with female infertility medications. Reporting calf pain or dyspnea is associated with estrogen hormone replacement therapy. This medication does not need to be taken with food.

A researcher develops a study to examine the effects of Keep Yourself Safe Screening (KYSS) on the incidence of intimate partner violence (IPV). The study level of significance is 0.05
The null hypothesis, that KYSS will have no effect on IPV, is found to be true. When reviewing the study for Type II errors, the reviewer understands that: a. a level of significance of 0.01 would decrease the risk of a Type II error. b. the level of significance does not affect the chance of a Type II error. c. there is a 5% chance that the null hypothesis is false. d. there is a 5% chance that the null hypothesis is true.
