Question 2 of 5
During the admission assessment of a client with advanced ovarian cancer, the nurse recognizes which symptom as typical of the disease?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abdominal distention is a common symptom in advanced ovarian cancer due to several factors, including the accumulation of ascites (fluid in the abdominal cavity) and the presence of tumors that can increase abdominal girth. As the disease progresses, the pressure from growing masses or fluid buildup can lead to noticeable swelling and discomfort in the abdomen. This symptom often prompts further evaluation and can significantly impact the patient's quality of life.
