Female Reproductive NCLEX Questions

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 tissue, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.

Question 2 of 5

The client diagnosed with cancer of the uterus is scheduled to have radiation brachytherapy. Which precautions should the nurse implement? Select all that apply.

A. Place the client in a private room. B. Wear a dosimeter when entering the room. C. Encourage visitors to come and stay with the client. D. Plan to spend extended time with the client. E. Notify the nuclear medicine technician.

Correct Answer: A,B

Rationale: Brachytherapy requires a private room and dosimeter use to minimize radiation exposure. Visitors are limited, extended nurse time is avoided, and nuclear medicine notification is unnecessary.

Question 3 of 5

The office manager schedules a mandatory staff meeting for all nursing personnel. As the nurse enters the room, several documents containing the client's name, medical records number, mammogram results, and diagnosis are found unattended on the table. Which nursing actions are appropriate in this situation? Select all that apply.

A. Notify housekeeping to come and dispose of the papers. B. Toss the papers in the trash. C. Put the papers into the shredder bin. D. Try to determine who left the papers unattended. E. State the papers neatly, placing them off to the side. F. Notify the office manager of the breach in confidentiality.

Correct Answer: C,F

Rationale: Shredding the papers ensures secure disposal of protected health information (PHI), and notifying the office manager addresses the confidentiality breach, as required by HIPAA regulations.

Question 4 of 5

When the nurse provides the client with pretest instructions, which statement is most correct?

A. You'll need to fast from midnight the night before the test. B. You'll need to empty your bladder just before the test begins. C. You'll need to consume at least a quart of water an hour before the test. D. You'll need to self-administer an enema 1 hour before the test.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A full bladder is required for a transabdominal prostate sonogram to provide a clear acoustic window for imaging.

Question 5 of 5

The HCP has prescribed two (2) IV antibiotics for the female client diagnosed with diabetes and pneumonia. Which order should the nurse request from the HCP?

A. Request written information on antibiotic-caused vaginal infections. B. Request yogurt to be served on the client’s meal trays. C. Request a change of one of the antibiotics to an oral route. D. Request L. acidophilus, a probiotic medication, three (3) times a day.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Probiotics like L. acidophilus prevent antibiotic-associated vaginal yeast infections. Written information is less proactive, yogurt is insufficient, and changing routes is unnecessary.
