Extract:
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
The client diagnosed with ovarian cancer has had eight (8) courses of chemotherapy. Which laboratory data warrant immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Urinalysis with 100 WBCs indicates a urinary tract infection, requiring immediate intervention in a chemotherapy patient at risk for sepsis. Other values are within normal ranges.
Question 3 of 5
Which is the American Cancer Society’s recommendation for the early detection of cancer of the prostate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: ACS recommends yearly PSA and DRE starting at age 50 for average-risk men. Biannual DRE, alkaline phosphatase, and urinalysis are not standard for prostate cancer screening.
Question 4 of 5
The client is diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer to the bones. Which nursing intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bone metastasis increases constipation risk (e.g., from analgesics); a bowel regimen prevents complications. TURP is for obstruction, bed elevation is irrelevant, and sexual function is secondary.
Question 5 of 5
The school nurse is preparing a class on testicular cancer for male high school seniors. Which information regarding testicular self-examination should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Any lump detected during testicular self-examination requires prompt HCP evaluation to rule out cancer. Cool rooms, second-person confirmation, and discomfort are not recommended.
