Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with ovarian cancer is prescribed radiation therapy for regional control of the disease. Which statement indicates the client requires further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nausea from radiation can be managed with antiemetics; this statement indicates a misconception. Preserving marks, daily treatments, and nutritional shakes are correct.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse correctly informs the client that fibrocystic lesions may become larger and more tender at what time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fibrocystic breast changes are hormone-dependent and typically worsen just before menstruation due to increased estrogen and progesterone levels, causing lesions to enlarge and become tender.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is discussing pelvic floor exercises with a client. Which information should the nurse teach?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Kegel exercises involve contracting perineal muscles for 10 seconds to strengthen the pelvic floor. Frequency varies, they reduce but don’t prevent incontinence, and abdominal/buttock contraction is incorrect.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
The female client diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV) asks the nurse, 'What other problems can HPV lead to?' Which statement is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: HPV is a major cause of cervical cancer, a critical complication to highlight. Transmission mode is irrelevant, ovarian issues are unrelated, and Pap smears detect, not prevent, issues.
