Question 2 of 5
After a rectal examination of a patient with obstructive jaundice, the nurse expects the stool to be what color?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Tan. In obstructive jaundice, there is a blockage in the bile ducts, leading to reduced bile flow into the intestines. As a result, stool color changes to tan or clay-colored due to the absence of bile pigments. Pale yellow is incorrect as it suggests some bile flow. Black stool indicates upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Bright red stool indicates lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
Question 3 of 5
A patient complains of dysuria, yellow-green vaginal discharge, and vulvar itching. The nurse suspects which sexually transmitted disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Gonorrhea. Dysuria, yellow-green discharge, and vulvar itching are classic symptoms of gonorrhea. The causative agent, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, infects the genital tract. Syphilis (A) presents with painless sores, not discharge. Genital warts (C) are caused by human papillomavirus and present as warts, not discharge. Chlamydia (D) can cause similar symptoms, but the characteristic discharge in this case points more towards gonorrhea.
Question 4 of 5
During a history, a patient reports rectal bleeding, a warning sign of colorectal cancer. The nurse correlates which clinical finding with colorectal cancer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because an irregular mass with raised edges on the rectal wall is a common clinical finding associated with colorectal cancer. This mass could be a tumor or polyp, which can lead to rectal bleeding. Option A is incorrect because thick, blood-tinged mucus is more commonly associated with inflammatory conditions. Option B is incorrect as a pus-filled cavity suggests an abscess or infection, not colorectal cancer. Option D is incorrect because a small, smooth nodule is more indicative of hemorrhoids rather than colorectal cancer.
Question 5 of 5
A 49-yr-old man who has type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and gastroesophageal reflux tells the nurse that he has had recent difficulty in achieving an erection. Which of the following drugs from his current medications list may cause erectile dysfunction (ED)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Propranolol (Inderal). Propranolol is a beta-blocker commonly used to treat high blood pressure, which can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) as a side effect by affecting blood flow. The other choices, A: Ranitidine (Zantac) is an H2 blocker used for GERD; B: Atorvastatin (Lipitor) is a statin used to lower cholesterol; and D: Metformin (Glucophage) is an oral antidiabetic agent. These medications are not typically associated with causing ED.
