NCLEX Questions on Female Reproductive System

Extract:

Question 1 of 5

The client is diagnosed with left mastitis. Which assessment findings should the nurse observe?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Mastitis causes dull pain and tough, doughy skin due to inflammation. Dimpling suggests cancer, cyclical lumps are fibrocystic, and bloody discharge/mass indicates malignancy.

Question 2 of 5

The charge nurse is making rounds on the genitourinary surgery floor. Which action by the primary nurse warrants immediate intervention?

A. The nurse elevates the scrotum of a client who has had an orchiectomy. B. The nurse encourages the client to cough, although he complains of pain. C. The nurse empties the client’s JP drain and leaves it rounded. D. The nurse asks the UAP to empty a catheter drainage bag.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Encouraging coughing despite pain risks complications (e.g., bleeding) post-surgery; pain control is needed first. Scrotal elevation, JP drain management, and UAP delegation are appropriate.

Question 3 of 5

If the client asks about long-term consequences that are associated with this disorder, the nurse accurately identifies which consequence?

A. Cancer of the cervix B. Premature labors C. Spontaneous abortions D. Difficulty getting pregnant

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause scarring of the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility or difficulty conceiving.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse writes a problem of 'anticipatory grieving' for a client diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Which nursing intervention is priority for this client?

A. Request the HCP to order an antidepressant medication. B. Refer the client to a CanSurmount volunteer for counseling. C. Encourage the client to verbalize feelings about having cancer. D. Give the client an advance directive form to fill out.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Encouraging verbalization of feelings addresses anticipatory grieving, promoting emotional coping. Antidepressants are premature, CanSurmount is supportive but secondary, and advance directives are unrelated to grieving.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is assessing a male client for symptoms of gonorrhea. Which data support the diagnosis?

A. Presence of a chancre sore on the penis. B. No symptoms. C. A CD4 count of less than 200. D. Pain in the testes and scrotal edema.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Gonorrhea in males can be asymptomatic, especially early. Chancre sores indicate syphilis, low CD4 is HIV-related, and testicular pain/edema suggest epididymitis, not gonorrhea.
