NCLEX Questions on Female Reproductive System

Extract:

Question 1 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 2 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.

A. Frequently offering the client a variety of oral fluids B. Helping the client ambulate in the hall C. Raising the knee gatch on the hospital bed D. Reporting to the physician that the client's dressing is loose E. Changing the client's perineal pad without using gloves

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 3 of 5

Before the client leaves the office, on which topic should the nurse provide health teaching?

A. Ask about the qualifications of the person who did the tattoos and piercings B. Whether the client is practicing safe, protected sex C. The client's sexual experiences with members of both sexes D. The names of all of the client's sexual partners

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Tattoos and piercings increase infection risk, but safe sex practices are critical to discuss due to potential STI transmission, especially with vaginal bleeding.

Question 4 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?

A. Do you have difficulty trying to urinate?' B. Have you had rectal sexual intercourse?' C. Do you eat a high-fiber diet and drink lots of fluids?' D. Does the diarrhea alternate with constipation?'

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 5 of 5

The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for clients on a genitourinary floor. Which nursing task can be delegated to the UAP?

A. Increase the drip rate on the Murphy drip irrigation set. B. Check the suprapubic catheter insertion site for infection. C. Encourage the two (2)-hour postoperative client to turn and cough. D. Document the amount of red drainage in the catheter.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Encouraging turning and coughing is within UAP scope to prevent respiratory complications. Adjusting irrigation, checking for infection, and documenting drainage require nursing judgment.
