Extract:
Question 1 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 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
Blood loss is a major cause of iron deficiency in adults. Some sources of chronic blood loss in adults are all except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Loss of intrinsic factor causes pernicious anemia, not iron deficiency. Gastrointestinal, peptic ulcer, and genitourinary bleeding are common causes of chronic blood loss leading to iron deficiency.
Question 4 of 5
A 55-year-old postmenopausal woman reports a history of dyspareunia, backache, pelvis pressure, urinary tract infections, and a frequent urinary urgency. Which condition does the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A cystocele occurs when the bladder bulges into the vaginal canal, which can cause symptoms such as dyspareunia, backache, pelvic pressure, urinary tract infections, and urinary urgency. Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus and can cause pelvic pain and pressure, but they are not typically associated with urinary symptoms. Ovarian cysts can cause pelvic pain and pressure but are not usually associated with urinary symptoms like urinary urgency. A rectocele occurs when the rectum bulges into the vaginal canal, which can cause symptoms like dyspareunia and pelvic pressure, but it is more likely to cause constipation than urinary urgency.
Question 5 of 5
What is the priority nursing diagnosis for a client with inadequate production of platelets?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Inadequate platelet production increases bleeding risk, making 'Risk for Injury related to increased bleeding tendency' the priority. Infection risk, cardiac output, and gas exchange are less directly related to thrombocytopenia.
