Disorders of the Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
If the client asks about long-term consequences that are associated with this disorder, the nurse accurately identifies which outcome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause scarring of the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility or difficulty conceiving.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is working in a health clinic. Which disease is required to be reported to the public health department?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Syphilis is a reportable STD to track and control spread, per public health regulations. PID, epididymitis, and ectopic pregnancy are not typically reportable.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching men about early detection of prostate cancer according to the American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines. Which should the nurse teach the clients?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ACS recommends PSA and DRE starting at age 50 for average-risk men. Earlier screening, sonograms, or biopsies are not standard unless indicated.
Question 4 of 5
The client who is scheduled to have a breast biopsy with sentinel node dissection states, 'I don't understand. What does a sentinel node biopsy do?' Which scientific rationale should the nurse use to base the response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sentinel node biopsy involves injecting dye to identify the first lymph node(s) draining the tumor, assessing cancer spread. Removing all draining nodes is outdated, manual palpation is not specific, and visual inspection alone is insufficient.
Question 5 of 5
The 24-year-old female client presents to the clinic with lower abdominal pain on the left side she rates as a '9' on a 1-to-10 scale. Which diagnostic procedure should the nurse prepare the client for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Severe left-sided pelvic pain suggests ovarian pathology (e.g., cyst, torsion); a pelvic sonogram is the initial diagnostic tool. CT is less specific, lumbar puncture is irrelevant, and appendectomy is premature.
