Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with cancer of the prostate tells the nurse, 'I caused this by being promiscuous when I was young and now I have to pay for my sins.' Which statement is the nurse’s most therapeutic response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reflecting the client’s guilt validates emotions and encourages discussion, a therapeutic approach. Questioning causation, dismissing behavior, or suggesting AIDS testing is less supportive.
Question 2 of 5
The client diagnosed with cancer of the testes calls and tells the nurse he is having low back pain that does not go away with acetaminophen, a nonnarcotic analgesic. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Low back pain in testicular cancer may indicate metastasis (e.g., to retroperitoneal nodes); HCP evaluation is urgent. NSAIDs, assuming metastasis, or exercises are inappropriate without assessment.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention for applying antiembolism stockings is most appropriate to include in the client's care plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Removing and reapplying stockings twice daily ensures skin inspection and hygiene while maintaining continuous compression to prevent thrombosis.
Question 4 of 5
Which instruction is most appropriate if a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear will be obtained at the time of the pelvic examination?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Douching can wash away cervical cells, leading to inaccurate Pap smear results, so it should be avoided for several days prior to the test.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is instructing a two (2)-week postpartum client who has red, tender breasts after trying to breastfeed the infant. Which should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warm, moist packs relieve engorgement and mastitis discomfort, promoting milk flow. Emptying breasts prevents engorgement but is not the focus, alcohol is harmful, and formula is unnecessary.
