Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about breast self-examination (BSE) with a client who has a regular menstrual cycle. The nurse should instruct the client to perform BSE at which of the following times?

Rationale: Three to seven days after menses stops is optimal for BSE as breasts are less swollen or tender, improving detection of abnormalities.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about primary syphilis. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Syphilis can be transmitted via vaginal, anal, or oral sex, but the risk is lower with oral sex, making this statement accurate for primary syphilis education. The other options are incorrect or overly broad.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a client with a diagnosis of pernicious anemia. Which finding would the nurse expect to note in this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A red, smooth, sore tongue is typical in pernicious anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency affecting epithelial cells. Dusky membranes, shortness of breath, and dyspnea are less specific.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is caring for a female client who has gonorrhea. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Obtaining sexual partner information is crucial to notify them and prevent gonorrhea spread. Gonorrhea is bacterial, diaphragms do not prevent STIs, and chancres are syphilis-related.
