Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is starting to use a cervical cap for contraception. Which client statement would require follow-up?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Leaving the cervical cap in for at least 24 hours increases infection risk; it should remain for 6-8 hours post-intercourse. Applying spermicide and inserting hours before intercourse are correct practices for effective use.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client with diabetes who reports breast tenderness, vaginal discharge, and urinary frequency. Which action is most important to include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Determining the date of the client's last menstrual period is critical to assess for pregnancy or menopausal changes, which could explain the symptoms and impact diabetes management. Breast self-exams and vaginal discharge characteristics are less urgent, and blood sugar logs, while important, are not directly related to the reported symptoms.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory values of a 3-year-old with nephrotic syndrome. The nurse interprets the results to most clearly reflect which physiologic process related to nephrotic syndrome?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms resulting from various causes of glomerular injury (Option 2).

Less common secondary causes may be related to systemic disease or infection, such as glomerulonephritis, drug toxicity, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
