Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with endometriosis experiences pain rated a '5' on a 1-to-10 pain scale during her menses. Which intervention should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: NSAIDs are first-line for endometriosis pain, taken with food to prevent GI upset. Morphine is excessive, tepid baths are less effective, and hysterectomy is a last resort.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is planning the care of a client diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease secondary to an STD. Which collaborative diagnosis is appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: PID from STDs increases infertility risk due to scarring. Knowledge deficit, fluid volume deficit, and noncompliance are less specific without evidence.
Question 3 of 5
To facilitate obtaining truthful information regarding this client's sexual history, which attitude is most important for the nurse to convey?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A nonjudgmental attitude fosters trust, encouraging the client to provide honest sexual history information without fear of stigma.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client newly diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. What is the scientific rationale for detecting the tumors at this stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at Stage IV due to vague early symptoms and deep pelvic location, delaying detection. Regular exams, dysmenorrhea, or breast cancer history do not ensure early detection.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is discharging a client diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the discharge instructions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Condom use by an infectious partner prevents PID reinfection. Pain post-intercourse is abnormal, douching increases PID risk, and exams every 2 years are insufficient.
