Genitourinary NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Because the client also has diabetes mellitus, which statement by the nurse best explains why that client is at higher risk for a training in a bladder infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Glucose in the urine, common in diabetes, provides a nutrient-rich environment that promotes bacterial growth, increasing infection risk.
Question 2 of 5
The client is reporting chills, fever, and left costovertebral pain. Which diagnostic test should the nurse expect the HCP to prescribe first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chills, fever, and costovertebral pain suggest pyelonephritis. A midstream urine culture is the first test to identify the causative organism. Imaging (sonogram, IVP, CT) is secondary to confirm complications or other diagnoses.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing the plan of care for the client diagnosed with a neurogenic flaccid bladder. Which expected outcome is appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A neurogenic flaccid bladder lacks tone, risking overdistention. Preventing this is a key outcome to avoid complications like infection or reflux. Conscious control and sensation are unlikely, and checking distention is an intervention.
Question 4 of 5
When administering the bladder instillation containing the chemotherapeutic drug, which safety precaution is most important for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Wearing two pairs of latex gloves protects the nurse from exposure to the chemotherapeutic drug during instillation.
Question 5 of 5
When preparing the client for catheterization, how should the nurse position the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The lithotomy position provides optimal access to the urethral meatus for catheterization in female clients.
