Question 1 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 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
Which are risk factors for ovarian cancer? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Three or more children. Multiparity (having three or more children) has been identified as a protective factor against ovarian cancer due to the repeated ovulation and hormonal changes during pregnancy. A: Talc use on the perineum is not a well-established risk factor. B: Having a first-degree relative with ovarian cancer increases the risk, but it is not as significant as having multiple children. D: High-fat diet has been suggested as a risk factor, but the evidence is not as strong as the protective effect of multiparity.
Question 4 of 5
A public health nurse is teaching a group about STIs at a local community center. Which statement made by the group demonstrates a good understanding of the disease process?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sexual partners of the infected person must also be treated. This statement demonstrates a good understanding of the disease process because treating only the infected person may not prevent re-infection. Treating sexual partners is crucial to prevent the spread of STIs and reduce the risk of transmission. This approach is known as partner therapy and is recommended by public health guidelines to control the spread of STIs effectively. It is important to address the source of infection and not just the individual who is currently infected. Incorrect Choices: A: The infection can only be spread when a person is symptomatic - This is incorrect because some STIs can be transmitted even when the infected person is asymptomatic. B: I can only get the disease through vaginal intercourse - This is incorrect as STIs can be transmitted through various sexual activities, not just vaginal intercourse. D: Oral contraceptives are effective in protecting against STIs - This is incorrect as oral contraceptives do not protect against STIs;
Question 5 of 5
A nurse working in a community clinic is teaching a client about chlamydia. Which statement made by the client would indicate a need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it is incorrect. Chlamydia can be spread by individuals who are asymptomatic, so the statement that individuals can only spread it if symptomatic is inaccurate. Asymptomatic individuals can still transmit the infection to others. Therefore, this statement indicates a need for further instruction. Choices A, C, and D are all correct statements. Treatment is necessary for asymptomatic individuals to prevent complications, pregnant women should be screened for chlamydia to prevent transmission to the baby, and any sexually active individuals can indeed be infected with chlamydia.
