Question 1 of 5
A nurse has been asked to teach ovulation and menstruation to a class of secondary school students. Place the events listed below in the order in which they occur in the menstrual cycle after menstrual flow ends. Use all the options.
Correct Answer: C,D,A,F,B,E
Rationale: After menstruation, the sequence is: endometrium thickens (follicular phase), ovarian follicle matures, ovum is released (ovulation), corpus luteum forms, progesterone decreases (if no pregnancy), and endometrium is shed (next menstruation).
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client newly diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. What is the scientific rationale for detecting the tumors at this stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at Stage IV due to vague early symptoms and deep pelvic location, delaying detection. Regular exams, dysmenorrhea, or breast cancer history do not ensure early detection.
Question 3 of 5
To facilitate obtaining truthful information regarding this client's sexual history, which attitude is most important for the nurse to convey?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A nonjudgmental attitude fosters trust, encouraging the client to provide honest sexual history information without fear of stigma.
Question 4 of 5
The client states that she examines her breasts in the shower and while lying down. The nurse recommends that the client should also inspect her breasts from which position?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Standing before a mirror allows the client to visually inspect both breasts for changes in size, shape, or skin texture, which is a key component of breast self-examination (BSE).
Question 5 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse include when teaching the client who is having an anterior colporrhaphy to repair a cystocele?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles, aiding recovery and preventing recurrence post-anterior colporrhaphy. Perineal care frequency is excessive, catheters are temporary, and pessaries are not used surgically.
