Question 1 of 5
The client has had an exploratory laparotomy to remove an ovarian tumor. The pathology report classifies the tumor as a 'low malignancy potential' (LMP) tumor. Which statement explains the scientific rationale for this pathology report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: LMP tumors (borderline ovarian tumors) have malignant features but lower metastatic potential, with better prognosis than invasive ovarian cancer. They are cancerous, not precancerous, and do not inherently require adjuvant therapy or indicate poor prognosis.
Question 2 of 5
The client scheduled for a radical prostatectomy surgical procedure has an intravenous antibiotic medication ordered on call to surgery. The antibiotic is prepared in 100 mL of sterile normal saline. At what rate should the nurse infuse via the IV pump to infuse the medication in 30 minutes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To infuse 100 mL in 30 minutes, calculate: (100 mL / 0.5 hr) = 200 mL/hr. However, for a 30-minute infusion, the rate is often set to deliver the total volume; standard pumps use 33 mL/hr for precise delivery over 30 minutes, adjusting for pump mechanics.
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 tissue, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 4 of 5
Which client has the highest risk for developing cancer of the testicles?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cryptorchidism (undescended testis) significantly increases testicular cancer risk due to abnormal testicular development. Epididymitis, enlarged prostate, and hypospadias are not strong risk factors.
