Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is one (1) day postoperative hysterectomy for cancer of the ovary. Which nursing interventions should the nurse implement? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: Assess for DVT (calf tenderness), manage pain, use SCDs for DVT prevention, and monitor bowel sounds (ileus risk) are critical post-hysterectomy. Turning every 6 hours is too infrequent; every 2 hours is standard.
Question 2 of 5
Because the client is receiving this type of radiation therapy, which nursing interventions should the nurse include in the care plan? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E,F
Rationale: Strict bed rest prevents dislodging the implant, limiting visitor time and nurse exposure reduces radiation risk, and standing at a distance minimizes exposure.
Question 3 of 5
Which nursing order is most appropriate to add to the client's initial postoperative care plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Keeping the cystostomy tube unclamped ensures continuous drainage, preventing complications like infection or pressure buildup.
Question 4 of 5
The client is diagnosed with left mastitis. Which assessment findings should the nurse observe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Mastitis causes dull pain and tough, doughy skin due to inflammation. Dimpling suggests cancer, cyclical lumps are fibrocystic, and bloody discharge/mass indicates malignancy.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing a male client for symptoms of gonorrhea. Which data support the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gonorrhea in males can be asymptomatic, especially early. Chancre sores indicate syphilis, low CD4 is HIV-related, and testicular pain/edema suggest epididymitis, not gonorrhea.
