Question 1 of 5
The nurse is inspecting the scrotum and testes of a 43-year-old man. Which finding would require additional follow-up and evaluation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the presence of yellowish 1-cm nodules that are firm and nontender on the scrotal skin could indicate a serious issue such as testicular cancer or a benign condition like sebaceous cysts. Further evaluation is necessary to rule out malignancy or infection. A: Skin on the scrotum being taut is a normal finding. B: Left testicle hanging lower than the right is a common anatomical variation, not a cause for concern. C: The absence of information makes it impossible to determine if this finding requires follow-up.
Question 2 of 5
Tubular reabsorption
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because tubular reabsorption refers to the process of reabsorbing substances, including water, from the renal tubules back into the bloodstream. This process occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubule and loop of Henle, not the distal convoluted tubule as stated in choice B. Choice A is incorrect because tubular reabsorption does not specifically eliminate wastes; that is the role of tubular secretion. Choice C is incorrect because tubular reabsorption does not directly control blood pH by removing H+ ions from the filtrate; that is primarily done through the kidneys' buffering systems. Overall, choice D is the most accurate as it reflects the primary function of tubular reabsorption in returning water back to the blood.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the changes that occur with menopause. Which changes are associated with menopause?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Answer A is correct because during menopause, there is uterine and ovarian atrophy due to decreased estrogen levels, leading to a thinning of the vaginal epithelium. This is a common physiological change associated with menopause. Summary of other choices: B: Incorrect - Increased vaginal secretions and clitoral size do not typically occur with menopause. C: Incorrect - Cervical hypertrophy and increased acidity of vaginal secretions are not common changes seen with menopause. D: Incorrect - Vaginal mucosa fragility and uterine hypertrophy are not typical changes associated with menopause.
Question 4 of 5
A woman states that 2 weeks ago she had a urinary tract infection that was treated with an antibiotic. As a part of the interview, the nurse should ask, 'Have you noticed any':
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
A patient calls the clinic for instructions before having a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. The most appropriate instructions from the nurse are:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because avoiding intercourse, inserting anything into the vagina, or douching within 24 hours of the appointment helps ensure an accurate Pap smear result. Intercourse, vaginal products, and douching can introduce foreign substances or disrupt the natural vaginal flora, potentially affecting the test results. Option A is incorrect because using pads during menstruation is a general recommendation and not specific to a Pap smear appointment. Option C is incorrect because bringing a sample of discharge is not necessary for a Pap smear. Option D is incorrect because douching is not recommended before a Pap smear as it can alter the vaginal environment.
