Genitourinary NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client from a long-term care facility is admitted to the medical unit with a fever, hot flushed skin, and clumps of white sediment in the indwelling catheter. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Symptoms suggest a catheter-associated UTI. Collecting a urine culture first identifies the causative organism, guiding antibiotic therapy. Starting an IV, antibiotics, or changing the catheter are secondary to obtaining a diagnostic sample.
Question 2 of 5
The client with CKD is placed on a fluid restriction of 1,500 mL/day. On the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shift the client drank an eight (8)-ounce cup of coffee, 4 ounces of juice, 12 ounces of tea, and 2 ounces of water with medications. What amount of fluid can the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. nurse give to the client?
Correct Answer: 720 mL
Rationale: Convert ounces to mL (1 oz ≈ 30 mL): Coffee: 8 oz = 240 mL, Juice: 4 oz = 120 mL, Tea: 12 oz = 360 mL, Water: 2 oz = 60 mL.
Total consumed: 240 + 120 + 360 + 60 = 780 mL. Daily limit: 1,500 mL. Remaining: 1,500 - 780 = 720 mL.
Question 3 of 5
When administering the bladder instillation containing the chemotherapeutic drug, which safety precaution is most important for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Wearing two pairs of latex gloves protects the nurse from exposure to the chemotherapeutic drug during instillation.
Question 4 of 5
The client who is postoperative TURP asks the nurse, 'When will I know if I will be able to have sex after my TURP?' Which response is most appropriate by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sexual function typically resumes 6–8 weeks post-TURP, providing a direct and reassuring answer. Other responses avoid the question or assume anxiety without addressing the concern.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with rule-out nephrotic syndrome. Which intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema, often dependent (e.g., in the sacrum in bedridden clients). Assessing for dependent edema is a key intervention to monitor disease progression or response to treatment. Bright-red bleeding is not typical, a 500-mg protein diet is incorrect, and high serum albumin is not expected.
