NCLEX Questions on Female Reproductive System

Extract:

Question 1 of 5

Before taking the client to the room where the pelvic examination will be performed, which nursing action is most appropriate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Providing a gown ensures the client's privacy and comfort during the pelvic examination, which is a priority before the procedure.

Question 2 of 5

The client diagnosed with cancer of the prostate has been placed on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy. Which statement indicates the client understands the treatment?

A. I will be able to function sexually as always.' B. I may have hot flashes while taking this drug.' C. This medication will cure the prostate cancer.' D. There are no side effects with this medication.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: LHRH agonists cause hot flashes due to hormonal suppression. Sexual dysfunction is common, cure is not guaranteed, and side effects are expected.

Question 3 of 5

The charge nurse is making rounds on the genitourinary surgery floor. Which action by the primary nurse warrants immediate intervention?

A. The nurse elevates the scrotum of a client who has had an orchiectomy. B. The nurse encourages the client to cough, although he complains of pain. C. The nurse empties the client’s JP drain and leaves it rounded. D. The nurse asks the UAP to empty a catheter drainage bag.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Encouraging coughing despite pain risks complications (e.g., bleeding) post-surgery; pain control is needed first. Scrotal elevation, JP drain management, and UAP delegation are appropriate.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse writes a problem of 'anticipatory grieving' for a client diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Which nursing intervention is priority for this client?

A. Request the HCP to order an antidepressant medication. B. Refer the client to a CanSurmount volunteer for counseling. C. Encourage the client to verbalize feelings about having cancer. D. Give the client an advance directive form to fill out.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Encouraging verbalization of feelings addresses anticipatory grieving, promoting emotional coping. Antidepressants are premature, CanSurmount is supportive but secondary, and advance directives are unrelated to grieving.

Question 5 of 5

An elderly woman is diagnosed with pelvic relaxation disorder secondary to age-related changes. Which medication should the nurse expect to administer?

A. Estrogen, a hormone. B. Cervidil, a cervical ripening agent. C. Progesterone, a hormone. D. Pitocin, an oxytocic agent.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Estrogen strengthens pelvic tissues in postmenopausal women with pelvic relaxation. Cervidil and Pitocin are for labor, and progesterone is less effective for this condition.
