high dose radiation to chest
high bone density (postmenopausal)

1.1-2.0 RR: factors are:
late age at first full term pregnancy >30
early menarche (55)
no full term pregnancies
never breast fed a child
recent oral contraceptive use
recent and longterm use of hormone replacement therapy
obesity
other factors:
personal history of endometrium ovary or colon cancer
alcohol consumption
height

Q

Breast cancer risk assessment tool often called the _____________ provides 5 year and first degree relatives with breast cancer previous breast biopsies and presence of hyperplasia, age at menarche, and age at first delivery. it is the best used for individuals over the age of 50 who have either no family history of breast cancer or one affected first degree relative and who have annual screening mammos. should not be used for women with a past history of breast cancer or radiation exposure, or those who are 35 or younger. does not determine risk for noninvasive breast cancer and does not take paternal history or disease in second degree relatives into account or age of onset of disease
this model was recently updated to include breast density but depends on the use of digital mammo and special software making it more difficult to use

4. high rate of resulting invasive procedures

American Cancer Society recommends the CBE every 3 years for women ages 20-39 and annually preferably before mammo, beginning age 40. CBE provides pt education but cautions that a thorough CBE may take up to 10 min.

CBE is heavily influenced by the technique of the examiner.

Q

BSE instructions on how to perform. page 427 in bates

again this is long. but it is an LO so i would read it over :)

you can do it!

A

lying supine:

  1. lie down with a pillow under your right shoulder. lace right arm behind your head.
  2. use finger pads of the three middl fingers on your left hand to feel for lumps in the right breast. finger pads are the top third of each finger
  3. firmly press enough to know how your breast feels, using firmer pressure for tissue closest to the chest and ribs. firm ridge in the lower curve of each breast is normal. if you’re not sure how hard to press talk with provider. or try to cop the at they do it
  4. press firm on he breast in an up and down or strip patient. also can us a circular or wedge pattern but be sure to use the same pattern every time. check the entire breast area form the underarm tot he sternum and the collarbone to the ribs below the breast. remember how your breast feels from month to month
  5. repeat exam on your left breast
  6. if you fin a mass or lump or skin change go see your doctor DUH

Standing:

  1. while standing in front of a mirror with your hands pressing firmly down on your hips , look at your breasts and say…. I am beautiful hahaha!…. but for real look at your breasts for changes in size shape contour or dimpling or redness or scaliness of nipple or breast skin.
  2. examine each underarm while sitting up or standing and with your arm only slightly raised so you can easily feel in this area. raising arm straight up tightens he tissue in this area and makes it hard to examine.

Q

Instructions for testicular self exam…

just read it over
p.531

A

best performed after a warm bath or shower. the heat relaxes the scrotum and makes it easier to find anything unusual

  1. standing in front of a mirror, check for any swelling on the skin of the scrotum
  2. with the penis out of the way, examine each testicle separately
  3. cup the testicle between your thumb and fingers with both hands and roll it gently between fingers. one testicle may be larger than the other; that is normal, but be concerned about any lump or area of pain.
  4. find the epididymis, this is a soft, tubelike structure at the back of the testicle that collects and carries sperm, and is not an abnormal lump.
  5. if you find any lump, dont wait. see a doctor. the lump may just be an infection, but if it is cancer, it will spread unless stopped by treatment

231
Q

usually arises from the endocervical canal, becoming visible when it protrudes through the cervical os. it is bright red, soft, and rather fragile. when only the tip is seen, it cannot be differentiated clinically from a polyp originating in the endometrium. they are benign but may bleed.

A

cervical polyp

232
Q

precancerous condition in which abnormal cell growth occurs on the surface lining of the cervix or endocervical canal, the opening between the uterus and the vagina. It is also called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Strongly associated with sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, is most common in women under age 30 but can develop at any age.

usually causes no symptoms, and is most often discovered by a routine Pap test. The prognosis is excellent for women who receive appropriate follow-up and treatment. But women who go undiagnosed or who don’t receive appropriate care are at higher risk of developing cervical cancer.

A

dysplasia

233
Q

begins in an area of metaplasia. earliest stages it cannot be distinguished from a normal cervix. later stages: an extensive, irregular, cauliflowerlike growth may develop. early frequent intercourse, multiple partners, smoking, and infection with HPV increase the risk for this

produces purulent yellow drainage from the cervical os, usually from chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae or herpes infection. these infections are sexually transmitted and may occur without symptoms or signs

A

mucopurulent cervicitis

235
Q

very common benign uterine tumors. may be single or multiple and vary greatly in size, occasionally reaching massive proportions. they feel firm, irregular nodules in continuity with the uterine surface. occasionally, projecting laterally can be confused with an ovarian mass, a nodule projecting posterioly can be mistaken for a retroflexed uterus. project toward the endometiral cavity and are not palpable, although they may be suspected because of enlarged uterus

A

myomas of the uterus

FIBROIDS

236

239
Q

pregnancy spills blood into the periotoneal cavity, causing severe abdominal pain and tenderness. guarding and rebound tenderness are sometimes associated. a unilateral adnexal mass may be palpable, but tenderness often prevents its detection. faintness, syncope, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, and shock may be present, reflecting the hemorrhage. there may be prior history of amenorrhea or other symptoms of pregnancy

A

ruptured tubal pregnancy

240
Q

most often a result of sexually transmitted infection of the fallopian tubes or the tubes and ovaries. it is caused by neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis and other organisms. acute disease is associated with very tender, bilateral adnexal masses, although pain and muscle spasm usually make it impossible to delineate them. movement of the cervix produces pain. if not treated, a tubo-overian abscess or infertility may ensue.
infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries may also follow delivery of a baby or gynecologic surgery

299
Q

vertex presentation

A

head first

300
Q

leopold maneuvers

4

A

4 maneuvers used to determine fetal position, beginning in 2nd trimester, accuracy greatest after 36 weeks gestation

1st maneuver = determine what fetal part is located at the fundus or “upper fetal pole”

2nd maneuver = feel for fetal back while placing hands on sides of maternal abdomen

3rd maneuver = palpate presenting fetal part at the “lower fetal pole” distinguishing head from buttock

4th maneuver = check flexion/extension of the fetal head

301
Q

cervix exam: 5 different things you are examining

A
  1. Dilation (0-10cm)
  2. Effacement (0-100%)
  3. Fetal station (-3 to +2)
  4. Consistency (firm, medium, soft)
  5. Position (posterior, middle, anterior)
302
Q

What is cervical effacement?

steps of effacement and dilation… how they are related?

A

cervical effacement: length of the cervix: so when babies head pushes down the length of the cervix shortens… and this occurs at the same time as the dilation.

  1. cervix not effaced (long cervix) or dilated
  2. cervix is 50% effaced and not dilated
  3. cervix is 100% (compltly thinned out cervix) effaced and dilated 3cm
  4. cervix is fully dialted to 10 cm
303
Q

Fetal station

what is this?

A

on either side of cervix you can feel pelvic ring.. when you feel top of babies head and it is right at ring that is 0 station
if it is 3 cm above the ring it is at -3 station
if babies head is pushing through pelvic ring then going into positive cm.

-3 to +3

0 station midway between ischial spines
