Disorders of the Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The client is diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer to the bones. Which nursing intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bone metastasis increases constipation risk (e.g., from analgesics); a bowel regimen prevents complications. TURP is for obstruction, bed elevation is irrelevant, and sexual function is secondary.
Question 2 of 5
When the nurse does a physical assessment of this client, which technique is best for determining the extent of the prolapse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Standing and bearing down makes a prolapsed uterus more visible, allowing accurate assessment of its extent.
Question 3 of 5
The 24-year-old female client presents to the clinic with lower abdominal pain on the left side she rates as a '9' on a 1-to-10 scale. Which diagnostic procedure should the nurse prepare the client for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Severe left-sided pelvic pain suggests ovarian pathology (e.g., cyst, torsion); a pelvic sonogram is the initial diagnostic tool. CT is less specific, lumbar puncture is irrelevant, and appendectomy is premature.
Question 4 of 5
Which nursing interventions are most appropriate to add to the client's immediate postoperative care plan? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
Rationale: Elevating the arm reduces lymphedema risk, monitoring for infection ensures early detection, ambulation prevents complications like thrombosis, and pain management promotes comfort. Restricting arm use for 6 weeks is excessive and not standard.
Question 5 of 5
The client frequently finds lumps in her breasts, especially around her menstrual period. Which information should the nurse teach the client regarding breast self-care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lumps around the menstrual period are often fibrocystic changes, a benign condition. Teaching monthly breast self-examination empowers monitoring for changes. Assuming benignity without follow-up is unsafe, dietary changes are secondary, and suggesting surgery is premature.
