Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
The nurse is formulating a care plan for a client post-abdominal hysterectomy. Which nursing diagnosis is appropriate for the client who has developed a complication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Intestinal obstruction is a common complication post-abdominal hysterectomy due to adhesions or ileus. Urinary retention and fluid imbalance are risks but less specific, and nerve damage is rare.
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
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.
Question 5 of 5
The 80-year-old male client has been diagnosed with cancer of the prostate. Which treatment should the nurse discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Radiation therapy is often preferred for elderly patients with prostate cancer, balancing efficacy and lower surgical risk. Prostatectomy is invasive, DES is rarely used, and penile implants are unrelated.
