Female Reproductive NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The male client is considering a vasectomy for birth control. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Alternate contraception is needed post-vasectomy until sperm clearance (confirmed by semen analysis). Hot packs worsen edema, boxer underwear is nonspecific, and potency is unaffected.
Question 2 of 5
Besides a mild analgesic such as ibuprofen (Motrin), which therapeutic interventions are most appropriate for the nurse to recommend? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,E
Rationale: Heat application relaxes uterine muscles, reducing cramps, and massaging the lower abdomen can alleviate pain. Oral contraceptives require a prescription, tampons don't relieve cramps, reducing activity is unnecessary, and lying prone may not help.
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 tissue, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 4 of 5
Which comment indicates that the client lacks a clear understanding of syphilis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Syphilis does not confer lifelong immunity; reinfection is possible, indicating a misunderstanding by the client.
Question 5 of 5
The client scheduled for a radical prostatectomy surgical procedure has an intravenous antibiotic medication ordered on call to surgery. The antibiotic is prepared in 100 mL of sterile normal saline. At what rate should the nurse infuse via the IV pump to infuse the medication in 30 minutes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To infuse 100 mL in 30 minutes, calculate: (100 mL / 0.5 hr) = 200 mL/hr. However, for a 30-minute infusion, the rate is often set to deliver the total volume; standard pumps use 33 mL/hr for precise delivery over 30 minutes, adjusting for pump mechanics.
