Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client who has endometriosis. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Endometriosis can cause pain during bowel movements due to the presence of endometrial tissue on the bowel or other pelvic structures. Bed rest alone is not an effective treatment for endometriosis pain. Hormonal therapy can manage symptoms but does not cure endometriosis. Endometriosis can affect fertility, making it more difficult for some women to become pregnant.
Question 2 of 5
Aplastic anemia is a disorder in which the bone marrow cells that develop into mature blood cells become damaged. The damaged bone marrow cells can lead to low numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells, and/or platelets. When the cause of aplastic anemia cannot be diagnosed, the cause is likely which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When the cause of aplastic anemia cannot be diagnosed, it is often attributed to an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks its own bone marrow cells. Radiation exposure can cause aplastic anemia, but if the cause is unknown, it is less likely to be due to a specific and identifiable event like radiation exposure. Chemotherapy drugs and toxins can cause aplastic anemia, but these causes would typically be identifiable based on the patient's medical history.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a middle adult female client who has fibrocystic breast disease. The nurse should emphasize to the client that manifestations of this disease are present at which of the following times?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Manifestations of fibrocystic breast disease, such as breast pain and lumpiness, tend to occur or worsen in the premenstrual phase due to hormonal changes. Weather conditions do not affect these manifestations.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing menopausal symptoms and requests information about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Which of the following items in the client's health history is a contraindication for hormone replacement therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: History of breast cancer contraindicates HRT due to the risk of stimulating hormone-sensitive cancer cells. COPD, GERD, and dermatitis are not contraindications.

Option D is incorrect as HPV can be contracted from a single partner, and option E is false due to available vaccines and treatments.
