Chapter 19 Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following would a nurse suggest for a client with an inflammation of the prostate gland?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the context of a client with inflammation of the prostate gland, the nurse would suggest option C) No masturbation or sexual intercourse until treated. This recommendation is based on the understanding that sexual activity can exacerbate inflammation of the prostate gland and potentially lead to further complications. By advising the client to abstain from sexual activities until treatment is completed, the nurse aims to reduce irritation and pressure on the inflamed gland, promoting faster healing and recovery. Option A) Treat the client and also his sexual partners is incorrect because inflammation of the prostate gland is not a sexually transmitted infection. Treating the client's sexual partners is unnecessary in this situation. Option B) Avoid standing for long periods and foods that cause diarrhea is not directly related to the treatment of prostate gland inflammation. While lifestyle modifications may be beneficial, they are not the primary intervention for this condition. Option D) Avoid foods that may cause acidity is also unrelated to the treatment of prostate gland inflammation. While dietary changes may be beneficial for overall health, they do not specifically address the inflammation of the prostate gland. Educationally, understanding the management of prostate gland inflammation is crucial for nurses working with male clients. Providing accurate information on lifestyle modifications and treatment recommendations can help prevent complications and promote optimal health outcomes in individuals experiencing prostate issues.
Question 2 of 5
When performing a well woman examination, the nurse expects what findings?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because during a well woman examination, the inner surface of the vestibule should appear deep pink, moist, and have a smooth texture, indicating normal vaginal mucosa. This indicates good vascularization and moisture levels. Choice B is incorrect as the inguinal skin should not be wrinkled and moist with sparse hair distribution during a well woman examination. Choice C is incorrect as the labia minora should not be deeply pigmented, ragged, or asymmetrical. It should appear pink, smooth, and symmetrical. Choice D is incorrect as the pubic hair being evenly distributed over the mons shaped as a triangle is not a specific finding expected during a well woman examination.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse recognizes which patient has the highest risk of endometrial cancer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because early menarche (age 9) and late menopause increase the lifetime exposure of estrogen, a known risk factor for endometrial cancer. Choice B has a later menarche age, reducing estrogen exposure. Choice C's early menopause decreases estrogen exposure. Choice D's irregular cycles may indicate hormonal imbalances but don't directly relate to increased estrogen exposure.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse correlates which patient complaint with suspected enlargement of the prostate gland?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Weak urine stream. Enlargement of the prostate gland can compress the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination and a weak urine stream. Constipation (A), change in bowel patterns (B), and increased mucus in urine (D) are not typically associated with prostate enlargement. This highlights the importance of understanding the anatomical and physiological implications of prostate enlargement on urinary function.
Question 5 of 5
A couple is scheduled to have a Huhner test for infertility. In preparation for the test, the nurse will instruct the couple about
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the Huhner test is used to assess the quality of cervical mucus and its ability to support sperm survival and movement. Therefore, determining the estimated time of ovulation is crucial as it ensures that the test is performed during the most fertile period of the woman's cycle. This increases the chances of obtaining accurate and relevant results. A: Being sedated during the procedure is unnecessary as the Huhner test is a simple and non-invasive procedure that does not require sedation. C: Experiencing shoulder pain after the procedure is not a common side effect of the Huhner test and is not a significant aspect to focus on during preparation. D: Refraining from intercourse before the appointment is not specifically required for the Huhner test, as the purpose of the test is to evaluate the quality of cervical mucus rather than the presence of sperm.
