NCLEX Questions on Female Reproductive System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The licensed practical nurse (LPN) realizes that the nursing assistant requires further instruction when observing which activities after the client's hysterectomy? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,E
Rationale: Raising the knee gatch can impair circulation, and changing pads without gloves risks infection. Other actions are appropriate post-hysterectomy care.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing order is most appropriate to add to the client's initial postoperative care plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Keeping the cystostomy tube unclamped ensures continuous drainage, preventing complications like infection or pressure buildup.
Question 3 of 5
An elderly woman is diagnosed with pelvic relaxation disorder secondary to age-related changes. Which medication should the nurse expect to administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Estrogen strengthens pelvic tissues in postmenopausal women with pelvic relaxation. Cervidil and Pitocin are for labor, and progesterone is less effective for this condition.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is one (1) day postoperative hysterectomy for cancer of the ovary. Which nursing interventions should the nurse implement? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: Assess for DVT (calf tenderness), manage pain, use SCDs for DVT prevention, and monitor bowel sounds (ileus risk) are critical post-hysterectomy. Turning every 6 hours is too infrequent; every 2 hours is standard.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing a male client for symptoms of gonorrhea. Which data support the diagnosis?
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.
