Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
The mother of an 18-year-old girl asks the nurse which screening her daughter should receive now based on evidence-based recommendations. Which suggestion by the nurse is best?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because evidence-based recommendations do not support routine screening for cervical cancer (Papanicolaou test) or breast cancer (mammogram) in asymptomatic individuals under 21. HPV test is not recommended as a standalone screening for young women. No screenings at this time aligns with current guidelines to avoid unnecessary testing and potential harm in low-risk populations. It's important to focus on preventive measures such as vaccinations and healthy lifestyle choices rather than invasive screenings for this age group.
Question 5 of 5
Where does spermatogenesis occur?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Seminiferous tubules. Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm production, which occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. These tubules contain specialized cells called Sertoli cells and spermatogonia that undergo multiple stages of cell division and maturation to form spermatozoa. Interstitial cells (A) produce testosterone, seminal vesicles (B) secrete seminal fluid, and vas deferens (D) is the duct that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra but is not the site of spermatogenesis.
