Question 1 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 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
A client is being treated for gonorrhea. Which medication combination should the nurse expect to be prescribed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ceftriaxone and azithromycin. Ceftriaxone is the first-line treatment for gonorrhea due to increasing resistance to other antibiotics. Azithromycin is often prescribed in combination to treat possible co-infection with chlamydia. Penicillin (B) is not effective against gonorrhea. Tetracycline (C) is not recommended due to resistance issues. Levofloxacin (D) is no longer recommended due to resistance concerns. The combination of ceftriaxone and azithromycin covers both gonorrhea and possible chlamydia co-infection effectively.
