Genitourinary System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient with impaired renal which the nurse should monitor the patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because impaired renal function can lead to the accumulation of wastes in the body, causing toxicity. Monitoring this is crucial for the patient's overall health. Choice B is incorrect as it does not directly relate to the consequences of impaired renal function. Choice C, retention of potassium, is also incorrect as it is a specific outcome of impaired renal function and not the primary focus of monitoring. Choice D, depletion of calcium, is incorrect as impaired renal function is more likely to lead to hypercalcemia rather than hypocalcemia. Therefore, the nurse should prioritize monitoring the accumulation of wastes in a patient with impaired renal function.
Question 2 of 5
Dipstick testing of an older adult patients urine indicates the presence of protein. Which of the following statements is true of this assessment finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Protein in urine can indicate renal issues, so further testing like urine protein/creatinine ratio is needed. 2. Proteinuria doesn't directly relate to urinary incontinence. 3. The finding is not related to age or gender, ruling out options B and D. 4. Option A is correct as it emphasizes the need for additional testing to confirm the presence and significance of protein in urine.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is describing how to perform a testicular self-examination to a patient. Which statement is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it emphasizes the importance of seeking medical advice if any abnormalities are detected during the self-examination. This statement encourages prompt action and follow-up with a healthcare provider, which is crucial for early detection and treatment of testicular cancer. Incorrect options: A: Timing of the examination is not as critical as the action to take if abnormalities are found. C: Describing the testicle's shape and texture is not the primary focus of a testicular self-examination. D: Performing the examination once a week is excessive and not recommended by medical guidelines.
Question 4 of 5
During a physical examination, the nurse finds that a male patient’s foreskin is fixed and tight and will not retract over the glans. The nurse recognizes that this condition is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Phimosis. Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans. This can lead to problems with hygiene and urination. Epispadias (B) is a congenital malformation where the urethra opens on the dorsal side of the penis. Urethral stricture (C) is a narrowing of the urethra, causing difficulty with urination. Peyronie disease (D) is the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, leading to curvature during erection. In this case, the fixed and tight foreskin indicates phimosis.
Question 5 of 5
Clavulanic acid is combined with amoxicillin because: *
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because clavulanic acid acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, protecting amoxicillin from being destroyed by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria. This allows amoxicillin to effectively kill the bacteria. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because clavulanic acid does not prevent renal excretion of amoxicillin, destroy bacteria directly, or counteract adverse effects of amoxicillin. The primary purpose of combining clavulanic acid with amoxicillin is to enhance amoxicillin's effectiveness by preventing its degradation by bacterial enzymes.
