Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client is eight (8) hours post-transurethral prostatectomy for cancer of the prostate. Which nursing intervention is priority at this time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fluid and electrolyte balance is critical post-TURP due to irrigation and bleeding risks (e.g., hyponatremia). Pain, dressings, and ambulation are important but secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse in the gynecology clinic is assessing a 14-year-old client who reports being sexually active. Which information should the nurse teach the client? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: Teaching birth control, STD prevention, and condom use empowers the sexually active teen. Parental notification depends on jurisdiction, antibiotics are irrelevant without infection, and parenting classes are premature.
Question 3 of 5
The female client presents to the gynecologist’s office for the fifth time with an ovarian cyst and is scheduled for an exploratory laparoscopy. The client asks the nurse, 'Why do I need to have another surgery? The other cysts have all been benign.' Which statement is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Persistent ovarian cysts require evaluation to rule out malignancy or complications, despite prior benign findings. Suggesting inevitable cancer is inaccurate, minimizing pain is dismissive, and addressing fear is secondary.
Question 4 of 5
The client has undergone a wedge resection for cancer of the left breast. Which discharge instruction should the nurse teach?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Limiting lifting with the affected arm prevents strain and lymphedema risk post-wedge resection. Claiming cancer is fully removed is misleading, Hemovac drains are uncommon in lumpectomy, and reconstruction is not universally needed.
