Question 1 of 5
A client, age 42, visits the gynecologist. After examining her, the physician suspects cervical cancer. The nurse reviews the client's history for risk factors for this disease. Which history finding is a risk factor for cervical cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that is linked to almost all cases of cervical cancer. Therefore, a history of HPV infection increases the risk of developing cervical cancer. The other choices, such as onset of sexual activity at age 17, pregnancy complications, and spontaneous abortion, are not directly linked to an increased risk of cervical cancer.
Question 2 of 5
At a public health fair, a nurse discusses the dangers of sun exposure. Prolonged sun exposure has been blamed for which form of cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prolonged sun exposure is indeed a known risk factor for all three types of skin cancer listed in the choices. Malignant melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that develops in the melanocytes, the cells that produce skin pigment. Basal cell epithelioma and squamous cell carcinoma are two other common types of skin cancer that are largely attributed to sun exposure. It is crucial to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun by applying sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade when necessary to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.
Question 3 of 5
When teaching a preoperative older patient, which of the following is a technique to improve learning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Eliminating background noise is a beneficial technique when teaching an older patient preoperatively. Older individuals may have age-related hearing impairments, making it difficult for them to focus and understand information in the presence of background noise. By minimizing distractions and background noise, the older patient can better concentrate on the information being taught and improve their learning experience.

Question 5 of 5
. A client with a suspected left sided heart failure is scheduled to undergo a multigated acquisition scan. Which of the following actions is required before undergoing the test?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Before undergoing a multigated acquisition scan, a client with suspected left sided heart failure should be medicated to relieve cough. Coughing can disrupt the accuracy of the scan results by affecting the heart's movement and leading to motion artifacts. Therefore, it is essential to address any coughing issues before the test to ensure reliable and accurate imaging of the heart's function. The other options, such as administering diuretics, avoiding fluid intake, and administering analgesics, are not directly related to optimizing the imaging quality of the multigated acquisition scan for a client with suspected left sided heart failure.
