Genitourinary System Assessment Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which is incorrect of renal transplant patients?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: Identical twin donor and recipient still require immunosuppression due to minor histocompatibility antigens. Failure to suppress the immune system can lead to rejection. Graft rejection may present with symptoms such as graft tenderness, decreased urine output, and increased creatinine levels. Infections are indeed a common cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant patients, with a high incidence within the first year post-transplant. Therefore, choice A is incorrect as even identical twin donors and recipients require immunosuppression to prevent rejection.
Question 2 of 5
When assessing the scrotum of a male patient, the nurse notices the presence of multiple firm, nontender, yellow 1-cm nodules. The nurse knows that these nodules are most likely:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sebaceous cysts. Sebaceous cysts are commonly seen as firm, nontender, yellow nodules in the scrotum. They are benign growths formed from blocked sebaceous glands. Urethritis (A) would present with symptoms such as pain or burning during urination, not as nodules on the scrotum. Subcutaneous plaques (C) are typically seen in conditions like Peyronie's disease, not as discrete nodules. COM (D) is not a recognized term in this context.
Question 3 of 5
During an examination of an aging man, the nurse recognizes that normal changes to expect would be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: 1. As men age, there is a decrease in testosterone levels leading to shrinkage of the testes and penis. 2. Decrease in penile size is a normal age-related change due to reduced blood flow. 3. Option A is incorrect as scrotal color usually remains unchanged. 4. Option C is incorrect as testes and scrotum tend to shrink rather than enlarge. 5. Option D is incorrect as rugae decrease with age due to decreased elasticity.
Question 4 of 5
During a genital examination, the nurse notices that a male patient has clusters of small vesicles on the
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Genital herpes presents as clusters of small vesicles on the genitals. 2. The vesicles are typically painful and can ulcerate. 3. The presence of vesicles is a key feature of genital herpes. 4. Peyronie's disease is characterized by penile curvature, not vesicles. 5. Genital warts are caused by HPV and present as cauliflower-like growths, not vesicles.
Question 5 of 5
The process by which water is reabsorbed by following solutes when they are reabsorbed is called
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: facultative water reabsorption. This process occurs in the collecting ducts of the nephron in the kidney, where water reabsorption is regulated based on the body's hydration levels. When solutes like sodium are reabsorbed, water follows passively through aquaporin channels, adjusting the amount of water reabsorbed according to the body's needs. A: Obligatory water reabsorption refers to the constant reabsorption of water in the proximal tubule and descending loop of Henle, not regulated based on hydration levels. C: Osmotic water reabsorption is a general term referring to the movement of water based on osmotic gradients, not specifically regulated by solute reabsorption. D: Renin-angiotensin water reabsorption involves the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in response to low blood pressure, focusing on sodium reabsorption rather than direct regulation of
