Question 2 of 5
On inspection of the internal structure of the vagina, the nurse notes a rounded protrusion on the posterior wall of the vagina. How does the nurse document this finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Rectocele. A rectocele is a herniation of the anterior rectal wall into the posterior vaginal wall. The rounded protrusion on the posterior wall of the vagina indicates a rectocele. This finding is documented as a rectocele due to the specific anatomical location and nature of the protrusion. Summary of other choices: B: Cystocele - A cystocele is a herniation of the bladder into the anterior vaginal wall, not the posterior wall. C: Bartholin cyst - Bartholin cyst is a fluid-filled swelling in the Bartholin gland near the vaginal opening, not on the posterior wall. D: Nabothian cyst - Nabothian cysts occur on the cervix and are not related to protrusions on the posterior wall of the vagina.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse correlates which factor to an increased risk of endometrial cancer in women with early menarche or late menopause?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Total number of ovulatory cycles. Early menarche and late menopause lead to a longer reproductive period, resulting in more ovulatory cycles. Increased exposure to estrogen due to more ovulatory cycles is a risk factor for endometrial cancer. Choice B is incorrect as more hormone stimulation, not less, contributes to the risk. Choice C is irrelevant as estrogen replacement therapy is not mentioned in the question. Choice D is incorrect as the duration of the menstrual cycle is not directly linked to the increased risk of endometrial cancer in these women.
Question 4 of 5
A patient tells the nurse that he has been informed he has internal hemorrhoids and asks whether there are different types of hemorrhoids. What is the nurse’s most appropriate response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice C is correct: 1. Internal hemorrhoids are located higher in the rectum, typically above the dentate line. 2. They are not usually palpable unless they are prolapsed or thrombosed. 3. This differentiates them from external hemorrhoids, which are located below the dentate line and are often palpable. 4. Choice C accurately describes the typical characteristics of internal hemorrhoids. 5. Choices A, B, and D provide inaccurate information regarding the location, appearance, and characteristics of internal hemorrhoids, making them incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
A 24-yr-old woman says she wants to begin using oral contraceptives. Which information from the nursing assessment is important to report to the health care provider before a prescription is considered?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a contraindication for oral contraceptives due to increased risk of cardiovascular events. Step 2: BP of 150/86 mm Hg falls in the hypertensive range. Step 3: Reporting high BP to the healthcare provider is crucial for assessing the patient's cardiovascular risk. Step 4: Other choices are not immediate contraindications for oral contraceptives: A - Smoking cessation is a positive factor, C - Rubella vaccination can be addressed separately, D - Iron-deficiency anemia can be managed alongside oral contraceptives.
