Question 1 of 5
Which are the most common sites of breast cancer metastasis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bones and liver. Breast cancer commonly metastasizes to bones and liver due to their rich blood supply, making them favorable sites for cancer cells to spread. Bones provide a supportive environment for cancer growth, while liver offers a hospitable environment for circulating cancer cells. Other choices are incorrect as breast cancer rarely metastasizes to kidneys, heart, blood vessels, or skin. Kidneys are not common sites for breast cancer spread, and heart and blood vessels lack the conducive environment for cancer growth. Skin metastasis in breast cancer is rare and usually indicates advanced disease.

Question 3 of 5
The drug of choice to treat a gonorrhea infection is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Gonorrhea is caused by a bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. 2. Over time, Neisseria gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to penicillin and tetracycline. 3. Ceftriaxone is the recommended treatment due to its effectiveness against resistant strains. 4. Acyclovir is used to treat viral infections, not bacterial infections like gonorrhea. Summary: - Penicillin and tetracycline are no longer effective due to resistance. - Ceftriaxone is the current drug of choice for gonorrhea treatment. - Acyclovir is not used for bacterial infections like gonorrhea.
Question 4 of 5
You are taking care of a patient who has had a colporrhaphy. Which option would indicate a priority assessment during the postoperative period?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Removal of vaginal packing as ordered by the physician. This is a priority assessment because leaving the vaginal packing in place for too long can lead to complications such as infection or tissue damage. It is important to follow the physician's orders for timely removal to prevent these risks. A: Documentation of a pessary in the operative notes is important for accuracy but not a priority assessment in the postoperative period. C: The use of a cell saver for transfusion therapy is not directly related to the immediate postoperative care of a colporrhaphy patient and is not a priority assessment in this context. D: The removal of staples 2 to 3 days post-procedure is important but not as time-sensitive as the removal of vaginal packing. It can be done at a later stage without immediate risk to the patient.
Question 5 of 5
Healthy People 2020 goals directed at women’s health issues focus on which areas? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice A is correct: 1. Healthy People 2020 aims to improve health outcomes and quality of life for all individuals. 2. Increased screening for cervical and colorectal cancers aligns with preventive care goals for women's health. 3. Early detection through screening can lead to better treatment outcomes and reduced mortality rates. 4. Regular screenings for these cancers can help in identifying and treating them at early stages. 5. Therefore, choice A is correct as it directly addresses preventive measures for women's health issues. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: B: Reduction of cancer survivor rate based on clinical management treatment - Incorrect, as the goal is to increase cancer survivor rates, not reduce them. C: Decreased morbidity and mortality related to breast cancer - While important, this choice is not specific to Healthy People 2020 goals for women's health. D: Reduction in hospitalization for hip fractures in the older female population - This choice is not directly related to women
