Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The 50-year-old female client complains of bloating and indigestion and tells the nurse she has gained two (2) inches in her waist recently. Which question should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bloating, indigestion, and waist expansion are concerning for ovarian cancer; dark stools may indicate GI bleeding or metastasis, warranting urgent evaluation. Diet, oophorectomy, and positional indigestion are less specific.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for clients on a gynecology surgery floor. Which intervention cannot be delegated to the UAP?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Monitoring peri-pad count involves assessing bleeding, requiring nursing judgment. Emptying catheters, assisting to the bathroom, and encouraging ambulation are within UAP scope.
Question 3 of 5
When assigning a nursing assistant to this client's care, which instruction for disposing of soiled drainage pads is correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Soiled pads from pelvic inflammatory disease may contain infectious material, requiring disposal in biohazard waste bags to prevent contamination.
Question 4 of 5
When a client with a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) complains of bladder discomfort and a feeling of urgency to void, which nursing action is best to take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ensuring catheter patency addresses the most likely cause of discomfort (blockage or clots) and prevents complications like bladder distension.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing an educational presentation for women in the community. Which primary nursing intervention should the nurse discuss regarding the development of ovarian cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Family history awareness is key for ovarian cancer risk assessment, guiding screening or genetic testing. Talc use is controversial, high-fat diets are not recommended, and yearly sonograms are not standard.
