Question 1 of 5
The process of voiding urine from the enhanced by: bladder is known as:
Correct Answer:
Rationale: Correct Answer: C: large numbers of glomeruli Rationale: 1. The process of voiding urine involves the filtration of blood in the kidneys. 2. Glomeruli are the kidney structures responsible for filtering blood and forming urine. 3. Having a large number of glomeruli increases the efficiency of urine production and filtration. 4. Therefore, the presence of large numbers of glomeruli enhances the process of voiding urine. Summary: A: Large surface area of capillaries - This does not directly relate to the process of voiding urine but rather to blood circulation. B: Menstruation - Menstruation is a reproductive process and not related to voiding urine. D: Implantation - Implantation refers to the attachment of a fertilized egg in the uterus and is not related to voiding urine.
Question 2 of 5
The external male genital structures include the:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Scrotum. The scrotum is a pouch of skin and muscle that houses and protects the testes, which are the actual male reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm. The scrotum also helps regulate the temperature of the testes to ensure optimal sperm production. A: Testis - While the testis is an external male genital structure, it is not the correct answer in this context as the question specifically asks for external structures. C: Epididymis - The epididymis is a coiled tube located on the back of each testicle where sperm mature and are stored. It is an internal structure and not considered part of the external genital structures. D: Vas deferens - The vas deferens is a tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra during ejaculation. It is also an internal structure and not part of the external genital structures.
Question 3 of 5
Which of these statements is most appropriate when the nurse is obtaining a genitourinary history from an older man?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it pertains to a common genitourinary issue in older men, nocturia. Nocturnal emissions (choice B) are not typically relevant in this context. Testicular self-examination (choice C) is more appropriate for younger men, and asking about unwanted touching (choice D) is not relevant to obtaining a genitourinary history. Asking about nocturia can provide valuable information about potential prostate issues, urinary tract infections, or other conditions commonly affecting older men.
Question 4 of 5
A 2-month-old uncircumcised infant has been brought to the clinic for a well-baby checkup. How would the nurse proceed with the genital examination?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The glans is assessed for redness or lesions. This is the appropriate step for a genital examination in a 2-month-old uncircumcised infant to check for any signs of infection or abnormalities. Eliciting the cremasteric reflex (choice A) is not necessary for a routine well-baby checkup and is more relevant in assessing testicular descent. Choices B and D are incomplete or irrelevant, not addressing the specific aspect of the genital examination needed in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing patient teaching about an erectile dysfunction drug. One of the drugs potential side effects is prolonged, painful erection of the penis without sexual stimulation, which is known as:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Define priapism - Priapism is a prolonged, painful erection of the penis without sexual stimulation. Step 2: Link to the drug side effect - The question mentions a potential side effect of an erectile dysfunction drug, which is priapism. Step 3: Eliminate other choices - Orchitis is inflammation of the testicle, stricture is a narrowing of a tube or passage, and phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin. These do not match the description of priapism. Step 4: Conclusion - The correct answer is C because it directly aligns with the described side effect and the other choices do not.
