Question 2 of 5
Which assessment technique does a nurse use to assess the inguinal region and femoral area of a male patient as he is standing and straining?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because when a nurse assesses the inguinal region and femoral area of a male patient standing and straining, they are checking for hernias. By observing for a bulge through the inguinal region, the nurse can identify any potential hernias, such as inguinal hernias. Palpating the femoral artery (choice A) is not relevant to assessing hernias. Palpating the inguinal lymph nodes (choice B) is not appropriate for assessing hernias in this scenario. Observing for discoloration of the inguinal ring (choice D) is not a typical sign of hernias. Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate assessment technique in this situation.
Question 3 of 5
While giving a history, the patient reports having herpes genitalis. Based on this information, which finding does the nurse anticipate during the assessment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Small vesicles on the genitalia. Genital herpes typically presents with small vesicles on the genitalia. These vesicles are usually painful and may be accompanied by itching or burning sensations. The presence of vesicles is a hallmark sign of genital herpes. Summary: B: Single, firm, painless, open sore is more characteristic of syphilis, not genital herpes. C: Pain when palpating the cervix is not a typical finding in genital herpes. D: Malodorous greenish-yellow vaginal discharge is more indicative of a bacterial infection like trichomoniasis, not genital herpes.
Question 4 of 5
Which question should the nurse ask when assessing a 60-yr-old patient who has a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct question to ask when assessing a 60-yr-old patient with a history of BPH is C: “Has there been a decrease in the force of your urinary stream?” This question is relevant as BPH commonly causes urinary symptoms like weak urinary stream. Asking about unusual discharge (A) is more relevant for assessing sexually transmitted infections. Inquiring about changes in sex life (B) and difficulty achieving an erection (D) are more related to erectile dysfunction, which may not be directly linked to BPH in this context.
Question 5 of 5
An 18-yr-old female patient who has been admitted to the emergency department after a motor vehicle crash is scheduled for chest and abdominal x-rays. Which information may alter the plans for the x-rays?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Positive result of hCG test. This may indicate that the patient is pregnant, which would significantly alter the plans for the x-rays due to the potential harm to the fetus from radiation exposure. A: Report of abdominal pain is a common symptom after a motor vehicle crash and would not directly alter the plans for x-rays. C: Blood pressure of 172/88 mm Hg could indicate hypertension but would not directly impact the need for chest and abdominal x-rays. D: Temperature of 102.1°F (38.9°C) could suggest an infection but would not typically change the necessity for x-rays.
