Question 4 of 5
In assessing a patient with suspected Chlamydia, the nurse’s actions are guided by which characteristic of this disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Chlamydia is frequently asymptomatic and requires screening. This is because Chlamydia often does not show symptoms, making screening crucial for detection and treatment. Asymptomatic cases can lead to complications and transmission. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. B is associated with Trichomoniasis, not Chlamydia. C describes symptoms of other conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease. D is inaccurate as Chlamydia can occur in anyone, not just immunocompromised individuals.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is taking a health history of a male patient with a possible diagnosis of erectile dysfunction. Which of the following statements made by the patient would the nurse recognize as risk factors for erectile dysfunction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because type 1 diabetes mellitus is a well-known risk factor for erectile dysfunction due to its impact on blood flow and nerve function. Diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves that are essential for achieving and maintaining an erection. This patient's long history of type 1 diabetes increases the likelihood of developing erectile dysfunction. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because urinary tract infections, blood pressure medications, and an enlarged prostate gland are not directly associated with erectile dysfunction. Urinary tract infections typically do not affect erectile function, blood pressure medications may have erectile dysfunction as a side effect but are not a direct risk factor, and an enlarged prostate gland is more related to urinary symptoms rather than erectile dysfunction.
