Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a 51-year-old client for a vaginal examination. The nurse should place the client in which position?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Lithotomy position. This position allows for optimal visualization of the vaginal area and easier access for the examination. The client lies on their back with knees flexed and feet in stirrups, providing proper exposure. Prone (A) is face down and not suitable for a vaginal exam. Lateral Sims' (B) is on the side and not ideal for this exam. High Fowler's (D) is sitting upright, which is not appropriate for a vaginal examination.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse has completed instructions on ways to improve the client’s symptoms related to her rectocele. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further education?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a sex education class to teenage girls. The nurse informs them that which age group should receive a vaccination to prevent HPV infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C (9-26) because the HPV vaccine is recommended for both males and females between the ages of 9 and 26. Vaccination at a younger age provides the best protection before exposure to the virus. Choices A, B, and D include age ranges outside the recommended vaccination window, making them incorrect options.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse taught a class on HPV and cervical cancer. Which statement by the student indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Genital warts cause cervical cancer. Rationale: 1. Genital warts are caused by certain types of HPV, not cervical cancer. 2. Most HPV infections do resolve on their own, making choice A correct. 3. HPV vaccination can prevent common types of HPV that cause cervical cancer, supporting choice B. 4. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types, like 16 or 18, can lead to cervical cancer, aligning with choice D. Summary: Option C is incorrect because it inaccurately states that genital warts cause cervical cancer. The other choices are correct in their statements regarding HPV infections, vaccination, and the relationship between specific HPV types and cervical cancer.
Question 5 of 5
Which statement by the client indicates further teaching is needed about uterine cancer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because a Pap test is used to detect cervical cancer, not uterine cancer. 1. A Pap test screens for cervical cancer by detecting abnormal cells in the cervix. 2. Uterine cancer is the most common cancer of the reproductive tract, making choice B accurate. 3. Choice C is correct as using estrogen without progesterone can increase uterine cancer risk. 4. Choice D is also accurate as postmenopausal bleeding can be a symptom of uterine cancer. In summary, the need for further teaching arises from the misconception that a Pap test can diagnose uterine cancer.
