Question

an elderly woman who has not seen a health care provider in 15 years comes to the gynecology (gyn) clinic with reports of pelvic and back pain, along with weight loss which she attributes to her lack of appetite. she states that she has been very weak and fatigued for the last 12 months and attributes this to depression. what should the nurse expect this client to be diagnosed with?

Answer 1

The nurse would expect this client to be diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer.

Loss of appetite, weight loss, weariness, pelvic pain, back pain, leg pain, swollen legs, heavy vaginal bleeding, bone fractures, and (occasionally) urine or feces leaks from the vagina are all signs of advanced cervical cancer. Bleeding following a pelvic exam or after douching is a typical sign of cervical cancer.The early stages of cervical cancer may be completely free of symptoms. Vaginal  bleeding, contact bleeding (one most common form being bleeding after sexual intercourse), or (rarely) a vaginal mass may indicate the presence of malignancy.
