Maternal Disorders Questions
Question 1 of 5
A woman is noted to have multiple soft warts on her perineum and rectal areas. The nurse suspects that this client has which type of infection?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: HPV. Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes soft warts in the perineum and rectal areas. HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection known to cause genital warts. The other choices are incorrect because HIV does not typically present with warts, syphilis manifests with painless sores rather than soft warts, and herpes simplex virus causes painful blisters rather than soft warts in the specified areas.
Question 2 of 5
The client has been taking danazol for endometriosis for 3 years. She tells you that she would like to have a baby and wants to stop taking this medication. She wants to know what will happen when she stops. Which is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (C): The nurse should explain to the client that once she stops any medication for endometriosis, her symptoms may return in 1 to 5 years. This is the best response because endometriosis is a chronic condition, and stopping the medication can lead to a recurrence of symptoms over time. It is important for the client to be aware of this possibility to make informed decisions about her health and fertility. By mentioning the timeframe of 1 to 5 years, the nurse provides a general idea of when symptoms may return, allowing the client to plan accordingly. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: Nothing, your endometriosis will not return - This is incorrect because endometriosis is a chronic condition that can recur when medication is stopped. B: If you stop taking danazol, it could increase your blood pressure - This is incorrect as danazol is not typically associated with blood pressure changes upon discontinuation. D: Once you stop
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the chart of a client who is complaining of heavy bleeding with her menstrual cycles. The nurse is aware that which of the following is a possible cause?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding. The nurse should consider this as a possible cause based on the client's symptoms. Incorrect Choices: B: Excessive exercise - While excessive exercise can sometimes affect menstrual cycles, it is not a common cause of heavy bleeding. C: Normal finding in pregnancy - Heavy bleeding during menstrual cycles is not a normal finding in pregnancy. D: Diet high in fat - While diet can impact overall health, a diet high in fat is not a direct cause of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Question 4 of 5
A 60-year-old client with a palpable mass to the right adnexa and family history of ovarian cancer is seen by the HCP. The nurse anticipates the order for which of the following laboratory results?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: CA-125. This tumor marker is used to assess for ovarian cancer in high-risk individuals. The client's age, palpable mass, and family history of ovarian cancer raise suspicion for malignancy. A CBC (choice A) and blood glucose (choice B) are not specific to ovarian cancer evaluation. FSH and LH (choice D) are hormone levels that do not directly assess for ovarian cancer. Therefore, CA-125 is the most appropriate lab test to anticipate in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is meeting with a client who was newly diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. She knows that the client has the potential for which diagnoses? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Impaired mobility. This is because polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to obesity and insulin resistance, which in turn can increase the risk of impaired mobility due to joint pain, reduced muscle strength, and overall decreased physical activity. The other choices are incorrect because A (Knowledge deficit) can be addressed through education, B (Disturbed body image) is more related to self-esteem and body perception issues, and C (Risk for type 2 diabetes) is a potential consequence of PCOS but not directly related to impaired mobility.
