Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
Which is a constellation of physical and psychological symptoms beginning in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and followed by a symptom-free period?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurs in the luteal phase due to hormonal changes. 2. PMS includes physical and psychological symptoms. 3. It is followed by a symptom-free period (during menstruation). 4. Endometriosis is a separate condition involving tissue growth outside the uterus. 5. Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to irregular bleeding patterns. 6. Depression is a mental health condition not specific to the menstrual cycle. Summary: PMS is the correct answer as it aligns with the timing, symptoms, and pattern described in the question. Endometriosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, and depression do not fully match the criteria provided.
Question 5 of 5
A 58-year-old woman tells the nurse that she has started to experience pain during intercourse. The nurse should document that this woman is experiencing which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dyspareunia. Dyspareunia refers to pain during or after sexual intercourse. In this case, the woman is experiencing pain during intercourse, which aligns with the definition of dyspareunia. Dyspnea (A) is difficulty breathing, dyspepsia (C) is indigestion, and dysmenorrhea (D) is painful menstruation, none of which are related to pain during intercourse.
