Female Reproductive Disorders NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse correctly places the client in which position when the physician is ready to perform the pelvic examination?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The lithotomy position, with the client's legs in stirrups, provides optimal access for the physician to perform a pelvic examination.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse in the gynecology clinic is assessing the 50-year-old client who has had four (4) children and is complaining of having lower abdominal pressure and fatigue along with some urinary incontinence. Which instruction should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles, reducing stress incontinence and pelvic pressure from multiparity. Peri-pads are palliative, avoiding laughter/sneezing is impractical, and hysterectomy is premature.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with gestational diabetes delivered a 10-pound 5-ounce infant. Which is priority for the nursery nurse to monitor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Macrosomic infants from gestational diabetes are at risk for hypoglycemia; monitoring blood glucose is priority. Latching issues, jaundice, and skin changes are secondary.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse enters the room of a 24-year-old client diagnosed with testicular cancer. The fiancée of the client asks the nurse, 'Will we be able to have children?' Which is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sperm banking is recommended before testicular cancer treatment (e.g., orchiectomy, chemotherapy) to preserve fertility. Normal fertility is unlikely, sterility is not guaranteed, and discussing with the fiancée avoids privacy issues but is less proactive.
Question 5 of 5
The female client diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV) asks the nurse, 'What other problems can HPV lead to?' Which statement is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: HPV is a major cause of cervical cancer, a critical complication to highlight. Transmission mode is irrelevant, ovarian issues are unrelated, and Pap smears detect, not prevent, issues.
