Chapter 52 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following would be most important for the nurse to include to ensure a thorough baseline history related to the reproductive system?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To ensure a thorough baseline history, the nurse obtains information on the client's general health and family history, age of menarche, and menstrual history. Although the client's nutritional history, exercise and fitness routines, and cultural history are important, they are part of the overall client health history and not specific to the reproductive system.
Question 2 of 5
An instructor is preparing a teaching plan for a group of students about reproductive structures and sexual arousal. Which female reproductive structure would the instructor include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At the superior function of the labia, there is a fleshy protrusion of tissue called the clitoris. The clitoris is an erectile tissue that enlarges and becomes sensitive when stimulated by the penis or touching that accompanies sexual foreplay. The mons pubis, labia minora, and labia majora are female reproductive structures but do not play as prominent a role in sexual arousal.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
