ATI Nursing 137 Exam 3 Fall 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A male client with possible fertility problems asks the nurse where sperm is produced. Which answer should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Testes. Sperm is produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis. The testes contain specialized structures called seminiferous tubules where sperm cells are formed. The other choices are incorrect because the vas deferens is a duct that carries sperm from the testes, the epididymis is a structure where sperm mature and are stored, and the prostate is a gland that produces seminal fluid, but none of these are sites of sperm production.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is educating a client about blood cell formation in the body. The nurse documents the education and refers to blood cell formation as?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hematopoiesis. Hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation in the body, which occurs in the bone marrow. This term specifically refers to the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Hepatomegaly (
A) refers to liver enlargement, osteogenesis (
C) is the process of bone formation, and splenomegaly (
D) refers to spleen enlargement. These terms are not related to blood cell formation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing the male genital organ. The nurse recognizes that which of the following is an accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Prostate. The prostate is an accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs as it secretes a milky fluid that contributes to semen. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Vas deferens is a duct that carries sperm from the testes, not a glandular structure.
B) Scrotum is the sac that houses the testes but does not produce any secretions.
D) Testis is the primary male reproductive organ responsible for sperm production but is not an accessory glandular structure.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is concerned about sexual performance. A 70-year-old male client reported that he is concerned about declining sexual performance. The nurse is engaging in client education to explain internal causes of withdrawal from sexual activity later in life. Which of the following internal causes should the nurse discuss? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Low testosterone levels. Testosterone levels naturally decrease with age, contributing to a decline in sexual performance in older males. This decline can lead to decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Stress (choice
A) can impact sexual performance but is not specifically related to internal causes of withdrawal from sexual activity later in life. Substance use (choice
C) can also affect sexual function but is not an internal cause. Lack of sleep (choice
D) can impact overall health and energy levels, potentially affecting sexual activity, but it is not a direct internal cause related to declining sexual performance in older males.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on discussing low testosterone levels as an internal cause of withdrawal from sexual activity later in life with the client.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who reports an abnormal sensation of burning or tingling in extremities. Which of the following should the nurse document in the client's record?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: paresthesia. Paresthesia refers to abnormal sensations like burning or tingling in the extremities, which the client is experiencing. A: paralysis is the inability to move or feel a body part, not related to the client's symptom. B: hemiparesis is weakness on one side of the body, not indicative of the client's reported sensation. C: paraphasia is a language disorder, not relevant to the client's complaint.
Therefore, only paresthesia accurately describes the abnormal sensation reported by the client.
