An adolescent client with pelvic inflammatory disease from an STI
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has pelvic inflammatory disease as a consequence of a sexually transmitted infection and will need intravenous antibiotic therapy. The client tells the nurse, 'My parents think I am a virgin. I don't think I can tell them I have this kind of an infection.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: Reflecting the client's fear shows empathy and encourages further discussion. Offering to tell parents or assuming parental understanding disregards autonomy and confidentiality.

A male adolescent during a well check-up
Question 2 of 5
While obtaining a health history from a male adolescent during a good check-up, the nurse assesses his sexual behavior and risk for sexually transmitted infections. Based on the information, the nurse plans to teach the adolescent about using a condom. What statement would the nurse include in the teaching plan?
Correct Answer: Applying a condom before genital contact prevents STI and pregnancy transmission. Wallets damage condoms, petroleum jelly weakens latex, and reusing condoms increases infection risk.

A client receiving Ringer's lactate at 120 mL/hr with a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer Ringer's lactate by continuous IV infusion at 120 mL/hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 10 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: Using the formula gtt/min = (mL/hr x drop factor) / 60, calculate: (120 x 10) / 60 = 20 gtt/min.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing contraception options for four clients. The nurse should identify which of the following clients has a contraindication for receiving oral contraceptives.

A 14-year-old client discussing contraception
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is leading a discussion about contraception with a group of 14-year-old clients. After the presentation, a client asks the nurse which method would be best for her to use. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
