Drugs Affecting the Female Reproductive System Quizlet Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A primigravida client, 8 gestational weeks, is at the prenatal clinic for her first examination with complaints of nausea and vomiting 'every morning.' Which comment made by the client would indicate the need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because chamomile tea is not recommended during pregnancy due to its potential to cause uterine contractions. A: Ginger cookies can help with nausea. B: Eating dry crackers before getting up can alleviate morning sickness. C: Avoiding foods with strong smells may reduce nausea. Therefore, D is the only choice that could potentially harm the pregnancy.
Question 2 of 5
A client is to have an emergency cesarean delivery due to late fetal decelerations. Before surgery, the nurse administers an antacid, citric acid/sodium citrate. Which patient response would indicate effective patient teaching regarding this drug?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "The drug will neutralize the contents in my stomach." Rationale: 1. Citric acid/sodium citrate is an antacid that helps neutralize stomach acid. 2. Before surgery, neutralizing stomach acid can help prevent aspiration during anesthesia. 3. Aspiration of stomach contents can lead to serious complications like pneumonia. 4. Therefore, teaching that the drug will neutralize stomach contents is crucial for the patient's safety. Summary of other choices: A: Citric acid/sodium citrate does not prevent infection after surgery. C: The drug does not affect the need for pain medication post-surgery. D: While the drug may help prevent vomiting, the primary reason for its administration is to neutralize stomach acid.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer an ophthalmic drug to a newborn. Education for the parents includes which fact about the drug?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: Choice B is correct as eye ointments are indeed administered in the lower conjunctival sac from the inner to the outer eye to prevent contamination. This technique ensures that the medication spreads evenly across the eye surface. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A is incorrect as not all preterm infants receive ophthalmic drugs. Choice C is incorrect as the drug may not necessarily prevent congenital ophthalmic diseases. Choice D is incorrect as the direct Coombs test is unrelated to the administration of ophthalmic drugs in newborns.
Question 4 of 5
A 62-year-old patient with a T-score of -2.0 after a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan receives advice. What is the best advice for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the patient's T-score of -2.0 indicates osteoporosis, which typically requires treatment with bisphosphonates to prevent further bone loss. Bisphosphonates help to increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures in patients with osteoporosis. Option A is incorrect as calcium alone may not be sufficient to treat osteoporosis without other medications. Option B is incorrect because while weight-bearing exercises are beneficial for bone health, they are not enough to treat osteoporosis alone. Option D is incorrect as it only includes calcium and vitamin D supplementation, which may not be enough for a patient with osteoporosis.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is discussing androgen therapy with a patient. Which statements will the nurse include in the patient education? (Select one that doesn't apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because lower extremity edema associated with androgen therapy is not increased by corticosteroids. Corticosteroids can actually help reduce inflammation and swelling. Therefore, it is important for the nurse to educate the patient that corticosteroids do not exacerbate edema from androgen therapy. For the incorrect choices: B is incorrect because both men and women can be prescribed androgen replacement therapy if clinically indicated. C is incorrect because androgen therapy is not safe in pregnancy and can have harmful effects on the fetus. D is incorrect because androgen therapy can indeed affect glucose levels, cholesterol, and thyroid and liver functioning.
