Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client is diagnosed with vulvar cancer. Which are the most common symptoms of cancer of the vulva?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vulvar itching is the most common symptom of vulvar cancer, often persistent. Red lesions, thin skin, and dryness are less specific or associated with other conditions.
Question 2 of 5
The postmenopausal client reveals it has been several years since her last gynecological examination and states, 'Oh, I don’t need exams anymore. I am beyond having children.' Which statement should be the nurse’s response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Postmenopausal women need gynecological exams to screen for cancers (e.g., endometrial, ovarian). Sexual activity is irrelevant, HRT is not mandatory, and feelings are secondary to health education.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention for applying antiembolism stockings is most appropriate to include in the client's care plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Removing and reapplying stockings twice daily ensures skin inspection and hygiene while maintaining continuous compression to prevent thrombosis.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with cancer of the prostate tells the nurse, 'I caused this by being promiscuous when I was young and now I have to pay for my sins.' Which statement is the nurse’s most therapeutic response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reflecting the client’s guilt validates emotions and encourages discussion, a therapeutic approach. Questioning causation, dismissing behavior, or suggesting AIDS testing is less supportive.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is instructing a two (2)-week postpartum client who has red, tender breasts after trying to breastfeed the infant. Which should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warm, moist packs relieve engorgement and mastitis discomfort, promoting milk flow. Emptying breasts prevents engorgement but is not the focus, alcohol is harmful, and formula is unnecessary.
