Chapter 52 : Introduction to the Female and Male Reproductive Systems Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assisting a 30-year-old client in scheduling an appointment for a cervical biopsy. The nurse would recommend that the client schedule the testing at which time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Because the client is premenopausal, the nurse would recommend scheduling the cervical biopsy for 1 week after the end of a menstrual period, when the cervix is least vascular. Scheduling the test for any other time would be inappropriate.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is providing teaching to a client who is scheduled for a mammogram. Which of the following would the nurse include as a way to avoid artifacts of the x-ray?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When a mammogram is scheduled, the nurse explains the radiographic procedure and instructs the client to avoid using a deodorant with aluminum hydroxide or body talc on the day of the test to avoid artifacts on the x-ray film. Not wearing jewelry is a precaution for any radiographic test. Fasting is not required before a mammogram. Drinking water before the test is appropriate for an abdominal ultrasound.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse has provided teaching to a client who is scheduled to have a Pap test. Which client statement indicates that teaching was successful?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Teaching is effective when the client schedules an appointment at a time other than during menstruation and does the following before the appointment: (1) avoids intercourse for 2 days, (2) refrains from douching for 1 day, and (3) ceases the use of vaginal medications for at least 48 hours.
Question 4 of 5
A group of students are reviewing information related to the male reproductive system structures. The students demonstrate understanding of the information when they identify which structure as an accessory organ?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Accessory structures include the seminal vesicles, which join with the ductus deferens to become the ejaculatory duct, the prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands. The vas deferens and epididymis are internal male reproductive structures. The scrotum is an external male reproductive structure.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing a woman for an abdominal ultrasound. Which instruction would be appropriate for the nurse to include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drinking at least 1 quart of water 45 minutes to 1 hour before the test and not voiding until after the test ensures a full bladder and facilitates transmission of the ultrasound waves. It also elevates the bowel away from the other pelvic organs. The client should restrict solid food intake for 6 to 8 hours before the test to avoid having images of the test obscured by gas and intestinal contents. There is no restriction on douching for this test. A full bladder, not an empty one, facilitates this test.
