Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Urethritis is inflammation of the urethra usually caused by an infection. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, commonly known as gonorrhea, is a sexually transmitted bacterium known to cause urethritis. It is a common cause of urethritis in sexually active individuals. Escherichia coli is associated with urinary tract infections but not typically urethritis. Pregnancy is not a cause of urethritis. Spermicides can potentially irritate the urethra but are not a common cause of urethritis.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The statement "I should take the prescribed antibiotics until I feel better" indicates effective teaching after a new diagnosis of nonlactational mastitis. Nonlactational mastitis is commonly treated with antibiotics to help clear up the infection. It is crucial for the patient to follow the prescribed antibiotic regimen as directed by their healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully treated and to prevent it from worsening or recurring. Compliance with the antibiotic treatment plan is essential for successful management of nonlactational mastitis.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A total simple mastectomy is a type of mastectomy that removes the entire breast, including the breast tissue, nipple, and areola, but it leaves the chest wall muscles intact. In this procedure, the lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes) are not typically removed. The total simple mastectomy is usually performed when the breast cancer is small and localized, and there is no evidence of spread to the surrounding lymph nodes or chest wall. This surgery is considered less extensive than other types of mastectomies, such as modified radical mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy, or nipple-sparing mastectomy, which involve different levels of tissue removal.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During the cycle of violence, the batterer displays contrition and remorse during the Honeymoon phase. This phase follows the Battering phase, characterized by the abusive behavior and violence, and precedes the Tension-building phase where stress and tension begin to escalate. The Honeymoon phase is marked by the abuser showing remorse, apologizing, and trying to make amends for their violent behavior. This phase often involves the abuser being extra charming, affectionate, and demonstrating efforts to reconcile with the victim. It is important to note that the Honeymoon phase is often temporary and is part of the cycle that may repeat unless intervention and support are sought.
