Genitourinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The pituitary hormone that stimulates the interstitial endocrine cells to secrete estrogen is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: LH. LH, or luteinizing hormone, stimulates the interstitial endocrine cells to secrete estrogen in the ovaries. FSH (choice A) primarily stimulates follicle development, not estrogen secretion. ACTH (choice C) stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol. GnRH (choice D) regulates the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland but does not directly stimulate estrogen secretion. In this context, only LH directly influences estrogen secretion, making it the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
A patient has had her indwelling urinary catheter since admission. How should the nurse best respond to removed after having it in place for 10 days during this finding? recovery from an acute illness. Two hours after removal
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Inform the patient that urgency and occasional small-volume voids are common after catheter removal. This response is correct because it acknowledges the patient's symptoms as a normal physiological response post-catheter removal, providing reassurance and education. Option A is incorrect as it focuses on fluid intake rather than addressing the patient's specific concern. Option B is incorrect as it suggests limiting fluid intake, which may not be necessary in this situation. Option C is incorrect as a high-sodium diet is not indicated for the reported symptoms.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse knows that specific areas in the ureters have experienced after this procedure is what?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: In the ureteropelvic junction. This is because the ureteropelvic junction is a specific anatomical location where the ureter connects to the renal pelvis. After a procedure involving the ureters, such as ureteroscopy or stent placement, it is crucial to monitor this area for any complications like strictures or obstruction. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because urinary retention, bladder perforation, and hemorrhage are not specific to the ureteropelvic junction area and are more commonly associated with other parts of the urinary system.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is aware of the high incidence and
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: Option B is correct because providing education on the importance of adequate hydration and strategies to prevent fluid volume deficit is crucial for older adults. This includes encouraging regular water intake, monitoring urine color, and recognizing signs of dehydration. Option A is incorrect as applying an ice pack to the perineum does not address fluid volume deficit. The other choices are not provided, but they would likely be incorrect as they do not focus on addressing fluid volume deficit in older adults.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is working with a patient who will undergo invasive urologic testing. The nurse has informed the patient that slight hematuria may occur after the testing
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, increased fluid intake following the test. Hematuria after urologic testing is common due to irritation of the urinary tract. Increased fluid intake can help dilute urine, reduce irritation, and promote flushing of any potential blood clots. Option A is incorrect as it does not address the underlying cause of hematuria. Option C is incorrect as OTC diuretics may not be necessary and can potentially worsen hematuria. Option D is incorrect as gentle massage of the lower abdomen will not resolve hematuria.
