Question 3 of 5
A 33-year-old woman comes to the clinic with a history of abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain. The nurse suspects that she might have fibroids. Which of the following would the nurse expect to find upon examination?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because fibroids typically present as an enlarged, irregular uterus that may be tender to palpation. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause abnormal bleeding and pelvic pain. The irregular shape and tenderness are characteristic findings of fibroids. Option B is incorrect because fibroids are not typically smooth and do not have smooth contours. Option C is incorrect because fibroids are not usually smooth and tender.

Question 4 of 5
A 22-year-old woman with a history of chronic pelvic pain is being examined. The nurse suspects endometriosis. Which of the following is the most common symptom of endometriosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pelvic pain that worsens during menstruation. This is because endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to inflammation and pain in the pelvic region. The pain typically worsens during menstruation due to the shedding of this tissue, causing irritation and further inflammation. A: Pain during menstruation is a common symptom, but what distinguishes endometriosis is the worsening of pain during menstruation. C: Pain during ovulation is not a typical symptom of endometriosis. While some individuals may experience pain during ovulation, it is not the most common symptom. D: Heavy bleeding during menstruation can occur in endometriosis, but it is not the most common symptom. Pelvic pain that worsens during menstruation is the hallmark symptom of endometriosis.
