NCLEX Questions on Female Reproductive System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The charge nurse is making rounds on the genitourinary surgery floor. Which action by the primary nurse warrants immediate intervention?
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 2 of 5
If a culture is ordered to detect the causative organism, which body substance will the nurse collect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Urethral drainage is the primary specimen for culturing gonorrhea, as it directly samples the infection site.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse correctly informs the client that the breast self-examination (BSE) technique involves palpating each breast moving in small concentric circles, following imaginary spokes in a wheel, or moving in rows from superior to inferior stress of the breast. Besides the breast, which other body area is essential to palpate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillae (armpits) contain lymph nodes that drain the breast, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 4 of 5
If the client tells the nurse that she would prefer to postpone the mastectomy until the biopsy has been more thoroughly examined, which is the most appropriate initial nursing action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Advocating for the client's preferences supports patient autonomy and ensures her concerns are addressed, aligning with patient-centered care principles.
Question 5 of 5
Before the client leaves the office, on which topic should the nurse provide health teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tattoos and piercings increase infection risk, but safe sex practices are critical to discuss due to potential STI transmission, especially with vaginal bleeding.
