Question 1 of 5
A client with phimosis is not a candidate for surgery. Which of the following suggestions should a nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
A patient asks when she can stop having Pap (Papanicolaou) tests. What is the nurse’s most appropriate response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Through age 65. This is because current guidelines recommend that women continue to have Pap tests every 3-5 years until age 65, assuming previous tests have been normal. This age cutoff is based on the decreasing risk of cervical cancer with age and the low likelihood of developing new HPV infections after this age. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the most up-to-date screening recommendations and may lead to unnecessary testing or missed opportunities for appropriate screening.
Question 3 of 5
A 50-year-old patient asks the nurse about her risk of developing a cancer of the reproductive system. What is the appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and cigarette smoking are major risk factors for cervical cancer. Step 2: The patient is 50 years old, which puts her at risk for cervical cancer. Step 3: HPV infection and smoking increase the risk of cervical cancer. Step 4: Therefore, the appropriate response by the nurse is A. Summary: B: Endometrial cancer risk factors include obesity, not age 40, and infertility is not a primary risk factor. C: Ovarian cancer can occur in women under 50 and family history of breast cancer is not a definitive protective factor. D: Menstrual irregularities do not necessarily lower the risk of reproductive system cancers.
Question 4 of 5
While taking a history of a patient with an enlarged prostate, the nurse expects the patient to report which symptom?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Waking from sleep to urinate. This symptom, known as nocturia, is common in patients with an enlarged prostate due to increased pressure on the bladder causing frequent urination at night. This is a classic sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Painful urination (choice A) is more indicative of a urinary tract infection. Blood in the urine (choice B) could suggest other conditions like bladder cancer. Incontinence throughout the day (choice D) is more commonly associated with other urinary issues such as overactive bladder or pelvic floor dysfunction.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse explains to a patient being prepared for colposcopy with a cervical biopsy that the procedure
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Colposcopy with a cervical biopsy involves visualization of the cervix using a colposcope. Step 2: The procedure may involve taking a biopsy of abnormal tissue for further evaluation. Step 3: Dilation of the cervix may be needed to access and obtain a biopsy sample. Step 4: Biopsy is taken from the tissue lining the cervix, not the uterus. Step 5: Therefore, option A is correct as it accurately describes the procedure. Summary: Choice B is incorrect as colposcopy can be performed in an outpatient setting without the need for local anesthesia. Choice C is incorrect as fasting is not typically required for this procedure. Choice D is incorrect as colposcopy is more invasive than a speculum examination.
