Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
The female client has a mother who died from ovarian cancer and a sister diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Which recommendations should the nurse make regarding early detection of ovarian cancer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: High familial risk warrants transvaginal ultrasound and CA-125 every 6 months for early detection. Prophylactic oophorectomy is a personal choice, MRI is not standard, and sigmoidoscopy is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
Which breast palpation technique is most correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using the pads of the fingertips allows for better sensitivity to detect lumps or changes in breast tissue during palpation, making it the most effective technique for BSE.
Question 4 of 5
The male client presents to the public health clinic complaining of joint pain and malaise. On assessment, the nurse notes a rash on the trunk, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Which action should the nurse implement next?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Joint pain, malaise, and a rash on palms/soles suggest secondary syphilis; confirming a prior chancre sore supports this diagnosis. Partner history, dermatology referral, and urine tests are less urgent.
Question 5 of 5
On the basis of this client's age, which statement by the nurse is the best explanation for the client's discomfort?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Postmenopausal vaginal dryness due to decreased mucus production is a common cause of painful intercourse in older women.
