Genitourinary System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Desmopressin reduces urine volume in which of the following condition? *
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Desmopressin reduces urine volume in diabetes insipidus by mimicking the action of vasopressin, which is deficient in this condition. It helps to increase water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to decreased urine output. Central and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus are not directly treated with desmopressin as they involve different underlying mechanisms. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
Which is not a relatively common finding in ESRF patients?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hypophosphatemia. In end-stage renal failure (ESRF) patients, hypophosphatemia is not a common finding due to impaired renal excretion of phosphate. Metastatic calcification (A) occurs due to high calcium-phosphate product, peripheral neuropathy (B) can result from uremic toxins, and hyperparathyroidism (D) is common in ESRF due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Therefore, hypophosphatemia is the least likely finding in ESRF patients.
Question 3 of 5
An accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs is the:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Prostate. The prostate is an accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs as it produces and secretes fluid that is a component of semen. The testis (A) is the primary male reproductive organ responsible for producing sperm. The scrotum (C) is the external sac that houses the testes. Choice B does not seem to be a valid option.
Question 4 of 5
When the nurse is performing a genital examination on a male patient, the patient has an erection. The nurses most appropriate action or response is to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: reassure the patient that it is normal. An erection during a genital examination is a normal physiological response and not under the patient's control. By reassuring the patient, the nurse helps alleviate any potential embarrassment or anxiety. Asking for someone else (A) may further embarrass the patient. Continuing as if nothing happened (B) may ignore the patient's emotional well-being. Stopping the examination and leaving (D) without explanation can create confusion and discomfort.
Question 5 of 5
A 2-year-old boy has been diagnosed with physiologic cryptorchidism. Considering this diagnosis, during assessment the nurse will most likely observe:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Physiologic cryptorchidism refers to a common condition in newborns where the testes have not descended into the scrotum but can be manually pushed down (milked) into the scrotum. This is a normal developmental process that usually resolves by the age of 3 months. Rationale: 1. Absence of the testis in the scrotum: In physiologic cryptorchidism, the testes are not palpable in the scrotum due to incomplete descent. 2. Testis can be milked down: The testes can be gently pushed down into the scrotum, indicating that they are present and capable of descending on their own. Summary of other choices: A: Testes that are hard and painful to palpation is incorrect because physiologic cryptorchidism is not associated with inflammation or pain. B: Atrophic scrotum and bilateral absence of the testis is incorrect as
