Question 1 of 5
When does a nurse use transillumination of the scrotum?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Transillumination of the scrotum is used when there is a mass or fluid in the epididymis. Transillumination helps to differentiate between solid masses and fluid-filled structures. It is not used for tortuosity of veins (A), indirect hernia (B), or twisting of the testicle and spermatic cord (D). Vein tortuosity is diagnosed through physical examination, hernias are detected through palpation, and testicular torsion is confirmed through Doppler ultrasound.
Question 2 of 5
A 68-yr-old male patient tells the nurse that he is worried because he does not respond to sexual stimulation the same way he did when he was younger. Which is the nurse’s best response to the patient’s concern?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Many men need additional sexual stimulation with aging." With aging, physiological changes can affect sexual response. Additional stimulation may be required due to lower hormone levels and decreased sensitivity. This response acknowledges the patient's concern and provides a factual explanation. Incorrect answers: A: "Interest in sex frequently decreases as men get older." - While libido may decrease with age, it doesn't directly address the patient's concern about sexual response. C: "Erectile dysfunction is a common problem with older men." - Erectile dysfunction is only one aspect of sexual response and may not be the main issue for the patient. D: "Tell me more about how your sexual response has changed." - While this shows empathy, it doesn't provide information or address the potential need for additional stimulation.
Question 3 of 5
Which finding from the nurse’s physical assessment of a 42-yr-old male patient should be reported to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because palpable inguinal lymph nodes could indicate an underlying infection or malignancy, requiring further evaluation by the healthcare provider. This finding is concerning and needs attention. A: One testis hanging lower than the other is a normal variation and does not typically require reporting. B: Genital hair distribution being diamond-shaped is a common pattern and is not an abnormal finding that necessitates reporting. C: Clear discharge at the penile meatus could be normal or due to benign conditions such as urethral irritation, so it may not require immediate reporting unless other concerning symptoms are present.
Question 4 of 5
What is the final stage of labour?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The final stage of labor is the delivery of the placenta. This occurs after the baby is born. The placenta is essential for providing nutrients and oxygen to the baby during pregnancy, but once the baby is born, it needs to be expelled from the mother's body. This process is crucial to prevent postpartum complications. A: Dilation of the cervix occurs in the first stage of labor. B: Delivery of the infant happens in the second stage of labor. C: Contraction of the uterus is a continuous process throughout labor but does not signify the final stage. In summary, the correct answer is D because it represents the final step in the labor process, while the other options pertain to earlier stages of labor.
Question 5 of 5
If a cell has 46 chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis, determine the number of chromatids at
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 92 chromatids. In mitosis, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids. Since the cell begins with 46 chromosomes, there are a total of 92 chromatids present. This is because each chromosome duplicates during the S phase of interphase, resulting in two identical sister chromatids held together by a centromere. Therefore, the total number of chromatids in the cell at the beginning of mitosis is twice the number of chromosomes. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not account for the duplication of chromatids that occurs during the cell cycle.
