NCLEX Questions on Female Reproductive System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is admitting a client diagnosed with trichomoniasis. Which assessment data support this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Trichomoniasis causes strawberry spots (petechiae) on the vagina and itching due to inflammation. Curdlike discharge is candidiasis, scant discharge/dyspareunia is nonspecific, and purulent discharge suggests PID.
Question 2 of 5
An elderly woman is diagnosed with pelvic relaxation disorder secondary to age-related changes. Which medication should the nurse expect to administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Estrogen strengthens pelvic tissues in postmenopausal women with pelvic relaxation. Cervidil and Pitocin are for labor, and progesterone is less effective for this condition.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 34-year-old female client with fibrocystic breasts. Which question should the nurse ask the client during the assessment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fibrocystic breast changes cause cyclical tenderness, worse premenstrually; this question assesses symptoms. Chocolate allergies, feelings, and prophylactic mastectomy are irrelevant.
Question 4 of 5
The client has been diagnosed with cancer of the breast. Which referral is most important for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Reach to Recovery provides peer support from breast cancer survivors, addressing emotional and practical needs post-diagnosis. Social workers, CanSurmount, and I CanCope are valuable but less specific to breast cancer support.
Question 5 of 5
If the client tells the nurse that she would prefer to postpone the mastectomy until the biopsy has been more thoroughly examined, which is the most appropriate initial nursing action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Advocating for the client's preferences supports patient autonomy and ensures her concerns are addressed, aligning with patient-centered care principles.
