Management of CareQuestion 1323 of 2368

A client with severe menorrhagia is scheduled for endometrial ablation. Which client statement should the nurse report to the provider?

  1. "My bleeding has not improved with medicines."
  2. "I have heavy periods that last longer than seven days."
  3. "I understand that I may need a hysterectomy if this fails."
  4. "I would like to have another child in a few years."
Show answer

Correct answer: "I would like to have another child in a few years."

Endometrial ablation is contraindicated for women who desire to maintain their fertility, so the provider must know.
