NCLEX Questions on Female Reproductive System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The male client complains of mucus-like drainage from the rectum accompanied by rectal pain and diarrhea. Which interview question should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rectal intercourse is a risk for proctitis or STDs causing mucus, pain, and diarrhea. Urination, diet, and diarrhea patterns are less specific.
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
The nurse correctly informs the client that the breast self-examination (BSE) technique involves palpating each breast moving in small concentric circles, following imaginary spokes in a wheel, or moving in rows from superior to inferior stress of the breast. Besides the breast, which other body area is essential to palpate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillae (armpits) contain lymph nodes that drain the breast, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class to older women concerning cancer of the uterus. Which situation is a risk factor for developing endometrial cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Truncal obesity increases estrogen levels, a major risk for endometrial cancer. Young age, perimenopausal bleeding, and progesterone with estrogen are not primary risks.
Question 5 of 5
Before the client leaves the office, on which topic should the nurse provide teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tattoos and piercings increase infection risk, so teaching about safe sex practices is critical to prevent sexually transmitted infections and maintain reproductive health.
