Genitourinary System Assessment Questions
Question 1 of 5
Regarding UTI's will not increase your risk of developing one?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Being female. Being female does not increase the risk of developing a UTI. UTIs are more common in females due to shorter urethras. Pregnancy (A) can increase UTI risk due to hormonal changes. Diabetes mellitus (B) can affect the immune system, leading to higher UTI susceptibility. Catheterization (D) introduces bacteria into the urinary tract, significantly increasing the risk of UTIs. Overall, being female alone does not directly increase the risk of UTIs compared to the other factors mentioned.
Question 2 of 5
When performing a genital examination on a 25-year-old man, the nurse notices deeply pigmented, wrinkled scrotal skin with large sebaceous follicles. On the basis of this information, the nurse would:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Choice C is correct because the description of deeply pigmented, wrinkled scrotal skin with large sebaceous follicles in a 25-year-old man is indicative of normal changes associated with development and aging. The nurse should recognize this as a normal finding and proceed with the examination without any further intervention. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: Squeezing the glans to check for discharge is not indicated based on the information provided. This action is unnecessary and could potentially cause discomfort or harm to the patient. D: Assessing the testicles for masses or painless lumps is not relevant to the described findings of pigmented, wrinkled scrotal skin with sebaceous follicles. This choice does not align with the presented information and would not be appropriate in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
When assessing the scrotum of a male patient, the nurse notices the presence of multiple firm, nontender, yellow 1-cm nodules. The nurse knows that these nodules are most likely:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sebaceous cysts. Sebaceous cysts are commonly seen as firm, nontender, yellow nodules in the scrotum. They are benign growths formed from blocked sebaceous glands. Urethritis (A) would present with symptoms such as pain or burning during urination, not as nodules on the scrotum. Subcutaneous plaques (C) are typically seen in conditions like Peyronie's disease, not as discrete nodules. COM (D) is not a recognized term in this context.
Question 4 of 5
During an examination of an aging man, the nurse recognizes that normal changes to expect would be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: 1. As men age, there is a decrease in testosterone levels leading to shrinkage of the testes and penis. 2. Decrease in penile size is a normal age-related change due to reduced blood flow. 3. Option A is incorrect as scrotal color usually remains unchanged. 4. Option C is incorrect as testes and scrotum tend to shrink rather than enlarge. 5. Option D is incorrect as rugae decrease with age due to decreased elasticity.
Question 5 of 5
During a genital examination, the nurse notices that a male patient has clusters of small vesicles on the
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Genital herpes presents as clusters of small vesicles on the genitals. 2. The vesicles are typically painful and can ulcerate. 3. The presence of vesicles is a key feature of genital herpes. 4. Peyronie's disease is characterized by penile curvature, not vesicles. 5. Genital warts are caused by HPV and present as cauliflower-like growths, not vesicles.
